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

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the frequency of bone augmentation materials used for implant or periodontal surgical treatment depending on the age and sex of the patients from a dental practice in Essen, Germany, but also the implants dimensions and respectively the stage and progression grade of the periodontitis. The analysis of the data showed that bone augmentation materials are used much more frequently in the implant surgical cases (43,33%) compared to periodontal surgical cases (13,33%). While the correlations with sex and age were less obvious, the use of bone augmentation materials in the implant surgical cases was correlated with the use of shorter implants, while their use in the periodontal surgical cases was correlated with the stage 3 periodontitis.
