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

To achieve a personalized bio-fixed mandibular bone plate with high matching, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility, this study employed a combination of reverse and forward design methodologies to complete modeling of the mandibular bone plate. Stress analysis was conducted on eight working conditions. Subsequently, under the most extreme condition, topology optimization was applied to refine the shape of the bone plate, followed by filling it with hexahedral lattice structures. Finally, SLM equipment was employed to fabricate the bio-fixed mandibular bone plate, and its performance was evaluated. The results indicate that after topology optimization and porous structure filling, the weight of the plate decreased from 5.47 g to 2.82 g (a reduction of 49%), while the maximum stress increased from 214.1 MPa to 350.9 MPa (an increase of 64%), and the maximum displacement increased from 0.6669 mm to 0.9722 mm (an increase of 45.78%). This enhancement can effectively mitigate stress-shielding effects. The 3D-printed personalized bio-fixed bone plate features a smooth surface, clear pore structure, and excellent bonding. The fit between the bone plate and the mandible model is tight and easy to install, meeting the required standards. This study provides a robust foundation for the application of SLM in manufacturing personalized bio-fixed bone plates.
