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

objectiveIn establishing an evidence-based rationale for the optimal use of implant therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is essential to first understand the impact of glycemic control on early healing and the success of dental implants. The objective of this study was to evaluate crestal bone loss (CBL) and stability around submerged and non-submerged dental implants in Saudi patients with well- and poorly controlled T2DM. SUBJECT AND

methodsThirty-five patients with well-controlled T2DM (24 males and 11 females) and 32 poorly controlled T2DM patients (19 males and 13 females) were included. CBL was measured on digital radiographs; resonance frequency analysis (RFA) measurements were made for each implant at the time of fixture placement and at 3 months in both the groups. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsA total of 124 dental implants were placed. Mean RFA values between baseline and 3 months in poorly controlled T2DM patients was statistically significant (p = 0.048). CBL at first year (p = 0.047), second year (p = 0.041), third year (p = 0.046), and seventh year (p = 0.035) was significantly worse in poorly controlled T2DM. CBL around non-submerged dental implants showed statistically significant differences at all time-intervals (p < 0.05).

conclusionPoorly controlled T2DM patients present worse peri-implant bone outcomes as compared to patients with well-controlled T2DM. We suggest that the predictability of successful dental implant therapy outcomes depends on the maintenance of optimal haemoglobin A1c levels.
