Development of a prosthodontic workflow tracking system to improve delivery efficiency in clinic-laboratory transfers.

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
Objectives: To develop and evaluate the Prosthodontic Workflow Tracking System (PWTS) for improving delivery efficiency and traceability in clinic-dental laboratory workflows across medical center branches. Methods: From May 2022 to September 2023, prosthodontic work-item transfer episodes between clinics and a dental laboratory across medical center branches were prospectively recruited under routine clinical operations and managed using either PWTS (digital tracking) or a paper-based workflow. PWTS recorded time-stamped scans at predefined checkpoints and synchronized events to a cloud dashboard for real-time status visualization and automated overdue alerts. Delay was defined as the completion of any checkpoint after the scheduled due date. Delay incidence was compared using chi-square tests, and delayed days using the Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 154 transfer episodes were included (PWTS Conclusion: PWTS was associated with lower delay incidence and delay burden than a paper-based workflow, and user-reported experience measures highlighted priorities for future system refinement.
