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

Scan-assisted interocclusal registration may vary with record extent and occlusal support. Using separately fabricated high-hardness vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) records, a fixed bilateral buccal intraoral scanner (IOS) acquisition protocol, optical reference articulations, and position-level three-dimensional analysis, this in vitro study compared prepared-tooth (Hard-Prep) and complete-arch (Hard-Arch) records across three support configurations and assessed a no-record IOS workflow. Ninety VPS-based and 45 no-record IOS acquisitions were analyzed. VPS records were fabricated under a 3.0 kg load; measurements used a 1.0 kg load. Overall three-dimensional deviation (dXYZ) was averaged over five mandibular positions. Log-transformed dXYZ was analyzed by ordinary least squares with Holm-adjusted contrasts. The Hard-Arch/Hard-Prep contrast was not statistically significant under bilateral extended support. Hard-Arch showed higher dXYZ under unilateral extended support (ratio, 1.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.54-1.99;
