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

Three-dimensional printing provides a new perspective to produce the clear orthodontic aligners and the biocompatibility and antimicrobial property of these materials have not been fully investigated. Therefore, it is of interest to three 3D printed aligner resins against a thermoformed control using cytotoxicity and antimicrobial assays. The biocompatibility of all materials was acceptable (>70% cell viability) but Resin C had a minorly higher level of cytotoxicity. The antimicrobial activity was low except in the case of Resin B which had decreased bacterial adhesion. All in all, 3D printed aligner resins showed reasonable biocompatible properties but need to be surface modified to endow antimicrobial functionality to be employed clinically.
