Peri-implant bone microstructural analysis and comparison of resonance frequency analysis before prosthetic placement: a retrospective study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesFractal analysis is a mathematical method used for the calculation of bone trabeculation and lacunarity. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and fractal dimension (FD) of peri-implant bone to determine the preload stability of implants. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, the results of the fractal analysis calculated from the resonance frequency analysis results taken in the 3rd month of the patients who underwent 2-stage implant by the same doctor and the radiographs taken in the same session were evaluated. A hundred implants in 20 patients were applied in this study. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of the implants and fractal dimension values of the peri-implant bone were calculated.
resultsThe findings showed that the ISQ1 (p = 0.008), ISQ2 (p = 0.038), ROI2 (p = 0.013), and ROI3 (p < 0.001) values were statistically significantly higher in men than women. The ISQ1 (p = 0.003), ISQ2 (p = 0.013), ROI1 (p = 0.011), and ROI3 (p < 0.001) of the mandible were statistically higher than the maxilla. The fractal dimension cut-off value to assess prosthetic loading was found 1.198.
conclusionFractal analysis is a non-invasive method that can be used in conjunction with clinical examination in the prosthetic loading decision of implants. It is a valuable parameter that can be used without the need for an extra device when it is necessary to reduce the clinical study time. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Calculating the fractal dimension of the peri-implant bone is a practical, economical, and applicable method for clinicians. FD calculated from panoramic radiographs used for diagnosis in routine treatments in clinics where access to the necessary devices for ISQ measurement is not available will contribute to clinical practice.
