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

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of build position (rows or columns) on the accuracy and flexural properties of three-dimensional printing resin model materials. SETTINGS AND

designThis was a comparative experimental study. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree additive manufacturing technologies - digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), and polymer jetting printing (PJP) - were employed to fabricate resin model specimens (2 mm × 2 mm × 25 mm), arranged evenly in 7 rows and 7 columns on the build platform. Dimensional trueness was assessed by measuring deviations in length (X-axis), width (Y-axis), and height (Z-axis) using a digital micrometer. Triplicate printing runs were performed to determine precision, quantified using intraclass correlation coefficient analysis. Flexural properties were evaluated through three-point bending tests. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc tests.

resultsThe PJP group exhibited deviations in length (0.18-0.25 mm) and height (0.18-0.22 mm) at several column positions, exceeding 0.1 mm, whereas the DLP and SLA groups showed deviations in all dimensions within 0.1 mm. At different row positions, PJP length (0.20-0.24 mm) and height (0.17-0.22 mm) deviations also exceeded 0.1 mm. Precision in height was lower than in length or width across both rows and columns (P = 0.000). Compared with the DLP and PJP groups, the SLA group demonstrated larger deviations in flexural modulus at column positions (P = 0.003, H = 19.730) and greater variations (95% confidence interval) in flexural strength and modulus at column and row positions.

conclusionBuild position had a greater influence on trueness in the PJP group, while precision was lowest for height across all three groups. Furthermore, the flexural strength and modulus of the SLA group varied more significantly with build position. Thus, meticulous selection of the build position is essential to achieve improved accuracy and flexural properties in resin models.
