What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to compare the dimensional and positional deviations of additively manufactured removable dies fabricated using two bio-based resins and one conventional dental cast resin, while also evaluating these outcomes over a 4-week period. MATERIALS AND
methodsA right mandibular first molar preparation on a typodont was scanned to digitally design removable dies and hollow partial arch casts. Based on a priori power analysis, a total of 30 dies (n = 10) and three hollow casts (n = 1) were fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) from three different dental cast resins: DentaMODEL (DM), FotoDent bio-based model (CB), and soy-based resin (SB). The dies and their seated positions in casts were digitized 1 day (T0), 1 week (T1), 2 weeks (T2), 3 weeks (T3), and 4 weeks (T4) after fabrication. Dies' dimensional deviations (crown, root, base of the root, and overall) and positional deviations in casts (crown region surface and point-based) at T0 were defined as trueness, while deviations measured over 4 weeks (T0-T4) were defined as stability. The deviations measured at T0 were analyzed either using a generalized linear model (dimensional deviations) or one-way analysis of variance (crown region and point-based deviations). The deviations measured over the 4-week period were analyzed with generalized linear model analysis and Bonferroni-corrected post hoc tests (α = 0.05).
resultsCB dies mostly had the lowest and SB dies mostly had the highest dimensional deviations (p ≤ 0.001). The crown region had the lowest dimensional deviations, while the dimensional deviations measured at T3 were higher than those at T2 and T4 (p ≤ 0.003). SB dies had the highest and CB dies had the lowest positional deviations, while crown region deviations were lower at T0 and T1 than at T4, and point-based deviations were lower at T0 than at T4 (p ≤ 0.049).
conclusionsCB dies mostly had better dimensional and positional trueness and stability over 4 weeks. The changes in tested outcomes for all dies over time were small.
