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

Additive manufacturing is increasingly integrated into digital prosthodontic workflows for the fabrication of dental models; however, printing-related parameters may influence the dimensional accuracy of clinically relevant regions. This in vitro study evaluated the effect of support spacing on the region-specific dimensional accuracy of masked stereolithography (MSLA)-printed dental models. A standardized typodont model representing a three-unit posterior fixed dental prosthesis preparation in the FDI 24-26 region was digitized to obtain a reference STL dataset. Three support spacing configurations were evaluated: 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm (
