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.

Abstract

backgroundThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the clinical efficacy of the immediate implant placement (IIP) protocol in the aesthetic zone with early dental implant placement (EIP) protocol.

methodsElectronic databases MEDLINE (via OVID), EMBASE (via OVID), ISI Web of Science core collection, Cochrane, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for the studies comparing the two clinical protocols. Randomised controlled trials were included. Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB-2) was used to assess the quality of included students.

resultsA total of six studies were selected. Implant failure was observed at 3.84%, 9.3%, and 4.45% in three studies while in the other studies, no implant failure was reported. Meta-analysis of four studies showed no statistically significant difference in the vertical bone levels between IIP and EIP (148 patients), mean difference (MD)0.10 [95% CI: -0.29 to 0.091.32] P > 0.05. Meta-analysis of two studies showed the probing depth between IIP versus EIP was not significantly different (100 patients), mean difference(MD)-0.00 [95% CI; -0.23 to 0.23]; P > 0.05. The pink aesthetic score (PES) was improved in EIP as compared to IIP with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe available evidence supports the clinical efficacy of the IIP protocol. Present findings indicate aesthetics and clinical results of immediate implant placement protocol are comparable to early and delayed placement protocols. Therefore, future research with long-term follow-up is warranted.
