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

The purpose of this study was to systematically assess clinical studies on the effect of using a diode laser in the treatment of peri-implantitis. Study question was "In patients with peri-implantitis around functional dental implants, can treatment by a diode Laser (810 nm) versus conventional treatment be effective in reducing the probing depth?". The study included only randomized controlled clinical trials that involved patients with peri-implantitis. Included articles evaluated a diode laser (810 nm) used as monotherapy or as adjuvant therapy in the non-surgical treatment while their control group received conventional methods of treatment for peri-implantitis. Studies that involved other types of laser treatment options, surgical therapy, photodynamic therapy, case series, or case reports were excluded. Three electronic databases were searched for published articles from 2010 to 2018: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and Web of Science. The references were manually hand searched for relevant articles. The search initially identified 44 studies, which were filtered to yield a total of 3 eligible studies. All included studies compared laser treatment by a diode laser (810 nm) to conventional therapy by mechanical debridement for a follow-up period ranging from 6 months to 1 year, and risk of bias was assessed for each of the three included studies. A qualitative analysis of the three studies was conducted. This systematic review could not support the usage of a diode laser in the treatment of peri-implantitis. To confirm this assumption, more clinical trials with long-term follow-up periods are recommended.
