In Vitro Study of Preload Loss in Different Implant Abutment Connection Designs.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The stability and integrity of the abutment-implant connection, by means of a screw, is fallible from the moment the prosthetic elements are joined and is dependent on the applied preload, wear of the components and function. One of the main causes of screw loosening is the loss of preload. The loosening of the screw-abutment can cause complications such as screw fracture, marginal gap, peri-implantitis, bacterial microleakage, loosening of the crown and discomfort of the patient. It is also reported that loosening of the screw/abutment may lead to a failure of osseointegration. It is necessary to evaluate and quantify, with in vitro studies, the torque loss before and after loading in the different connections.
