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 (3D) printing is a cutting-edge technology that is widely used in biomedical fields to construct various commercial products or scaffolds for theoretical research. In this review, 3D printing technologies with different principles are briefly introduced, including selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), and digital light processing (DLP). In addition, the applications of 3D printing in dentistry, such as dental implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and dental tissue regeneration, were summarized. Furthermore, the perspective and challenges of 3D printing were also addressed to help the readers obtain a clear map for the development of 3D printing in dentistry.
