Efficacy of Adjunctive Chlorhexidine in non-surgical treatment of Peri-Implantitis/Peri-Implant Mucositis: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: The current review aimed to assess the efficacy of adjunctive chlorhexidine (CHX) in the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis/peri-implant mucositis. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to 10 Results: Fourteen studies were included. Meta-analysis revealed significantly lower probing depths in peri-implant mucositis patients using CHX adjuncts as compared to controls (SMD: -1.49 95% CI: -2.56, -0.42 I2=95% p=0.006). However, the same effect was not noted in peri-implantitis (SMD: -1.18 95% CI: -0.04, 2.40 I2=96% p=0.06). CHX was not found to improve bleeding of probing in peri-implant mucositis while sufficient data was unavailable for peri-implantitis. Results on other outcome variables were conflicting. Conclusion: Evidence on the efficacy of adjunctive CHX for peri-implant mucositis is conflicting. Similarly, strong conclusions on the effect of CHX for peri-implantitis cannot be drawn due to limited number of studies. Overall, there seems to be a trend of non-significant impact of CHX on outcomes of peri-implant mucositis as well as peri-implantitis.
