Soft tissue thickness evaluation in screw-retained crowns by the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT).
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIntraoral scanner evaluation (3Shape, TRIOS®) of soft tissue thickness around convergent collar implants and shoulderless abutments. MATERIAL AND
methodsAmbispective longitudinal analytical study with a sample size of 26 implants in 17 patients treated in a private dental clinic. Pacients were divided into two groups: Prama Implants or group 1 (n=19) and Shelta implants combined with XA abutment or group 2 (n=7). Thickness changes after one- and two-year follow-up were analyzed.
resultsIn group 1 baseline mean thickness was 6.53 mm (±1.06) and follow-up mean thickness was 8.06 mm (±0.98), in group 2 initial mean thickness was 7.66 mm (±1.09) and follow-up mean thickness was of 8.42 mm (±1.03).
conclusionsBiologically guided crowns design seems to significantly increase the soft tissue volumen around convergent morphology implants.
