Influence of Polishing Treatment on the Topography of 3D-Printed Provisional Resins: An In Vitro Study.

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
Although 3D-printing has been increasingly integrated in the fabrication of provisional restorations, the evidence regarding the impact of different polishing regimens on their topographical features is unclear. This in vitro study assessed the outcomes of different polishing treatments on roughness measurements of 3D-printed provisional resin materials compared to that of a conventional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Disc-shaped specimens were obtained from a conventional PMMA (GC Unifast III) and two commercially available 3D-printed provisional resin materials (Asiga DentaTOOTH, NextDent C&B MFH). Specimens were allocated into four polishing treatments: unpolished (control), conventional pumice, Optiglaze, or chairside polishing. Surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz) were quantified with a noncontact optical profilometer after polishing treatment. Qualitative surface analysis was obtained with representative 3D topographical color maps. Ra and Rz data were analyzed with a generalized linear model and Bonferroni-corrected post hoc tests (α = 0.05). Lowest roughness was identified in Asiga DentaTOOTH and highest in conventional PMMA (
