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
aimThe effect of 3D printing parameters on the marginal fit and fracture resistance of 3D printed provisional crowns is not clear. The objective of this research was to use different printing orientations and layer thicknesses to build 3D printed provisional crowns and to evaluate the marginal fit and fracture resistance of it. MATERIALS AND
methodsA maxillary first premolar resin tooth was reduced for all-ceramic tooth preparation then was scanned using intraoral scanner. 60 dies were printed using Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printer. One of the printed dies was scanned. The design of the crown was made then the design was exported to 3D printing software. 60 provisional resin crowns were printed using DLP 3D printer. 36 Provisional crowns were divided into 3 groups(n = 12) according to the printing orientation used: group A (0°), group B (90°) and group C (30°)0.24 Provisional crowns were divided into 2 groups (n = 12) according to the layer thickness used: group D (50 μm) and group E (100 μm). Absolute marginal discrepancies (AMD) were measured using stereomicroscope. Fracture resistance was measured using a universal testing machine. Data analysis was performed using one way-ANOVA, independent T- test and paired t-test at 0.05 using IBM SPSS version 26.0.
resultsOne-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of printing orientation and layer thickness on the marginal fit and fracture strength of 3D printed crowns (p < 0.001). One-way ANOVA showed that group C (60.76 [± 6.96]μm) showed significantly lower mean [± SD] absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD) in µm than group A (72.26 [± 6.07] μm) and there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C. One-way ANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean value of fracture resistance between group B and each of two other groups: group A and group C. The highest mean value [± SD] was reported with the samples of group A (977.97 [±10.69]), while the lowest mean value was reported with the samples of group B (785.10 [± 20.43]) (p < 0.001).
conclusionPrinting orientation and layer thickness influenced marginal fit and fracture resistance of 3D printed provisional crowns.
