1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This pilot study aims to evaluate the clinical accuracy of Smart stereolithography (STL) files generated by the Dental Monitoring® (DM) system by comparing them with gold standard intraoral scans (IOSs). Methods: Seven aligner patients using the DM application were included. For each patient, Smart STL files generated from remote scans were superimposed onto IOSs using the best-fit algorithm in OnyxCeph software. Differences regarding inclination, angulation, rotation, buccal/lingual, mesial/distal, and intrusion/extrusion were quantified and statistically compared. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in inclination, mesial/distal, and buccal/lingual movements, particularly in the posterior segments. However, all deviations remained within clinically acceptable thresholds for single aligner tooth movement. Conclusions: Despite minor deviations, Smart STL files generated by DM demonstrated sufficient accuracy for use in aligner planning and refinement. These findings highlight the potential of DM-generated Smart STL files for subsequent aligner treatment.
