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

objectiveQuantify the effect of the osseodensification Densah® protocol on the insertion torque, ISQ, and the removal torque of conical BioHorizons® implants. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn ex vivo model over fresh pig tibia bone was used. Test group (TG) included 50 osteotomies using Densah® osseodensification protocol, and the control group (CG), 50 osteotomies using BioHorizons®'s recommended procedure. Conical BioHorizons® implants (3.8 × 10.5 mm) were implanted, verifying the insertion torque with a manual torque meter. ISQ values were registered with Ostell® device. Finally, implants were removed with manual reverse torque registering the values. Results were analyzed and compared with the Mann-Whitney test and t-test.

resultsMedian and interquartile range per group were as follows: insertion torque, CG: 26 (12) Ncm; TG: 42 (26) Ncm, removal torque, CG: 25 (20) Ncm; TG: 40 (28) Ncm, ISQ value, CG: 69.25 (5.5); TG: 71.5 (4). All variables were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in the osseodensification group.

conclusionsThe Osseodensification technique may improve primary stability in the clinical scenario on tapered implants. Further human RCTs are necessary to validate this.
