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

aimVerification jigs play a vital role in ensuring the passive fit of implant-supported prostheses by accurately transferring implant positions to the working cast. This in vitro study aimed to compare the dimensional accuracy of verification jigs fabricated using chemically polymerized (self-cure) and photopolymerized acrylic resin. SETTINGS AND

designIn-vitro study design. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixteen three-dimensional-printed mandibular edentulous models with embedded implant analogs were used and divided into two groups (n = 8). Group A jigs were fabricated using self-cure resin (Pattern Resin™ LS, GC America), while Group B used light-cured resin (Resinlay®, TDV Dental, Brazil). All jigs were sectioned and relined to compensate for polymerization shrinkage before pouring the final working casts. The casts were scanned using a desktop optical scanner, and standard tessellation language (STL) files were superimposed onto a reference model using Geomagic Control X software. Root mean square (RMS) deviation, linear inter-implant distance deviation, and angular deviation were calculated. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Statistical comparisons were made using an independent t-test.

resultsGroup A and Group B demonstrated comparable RMS deviation (0.057 ± 0.003 mm vs. 0.060 ± 0.003 mm; P = 0.170), linear deviation (0.084 ± 0.003 mm vs. 0.090 ± 0.002 mm; P = 0.270), and angular deviation (1.855° ± 0.023° vs. 1.965° ± 0.061°; P = 0.148). None of the differences were statistically significant.

conclusionBoth groups provide clinically acceptable dimensional accuracy in verification jig fabrication. Resinlay, with its superior handling and reduced working time, may serve as an efficient alternative in clinical settings.
