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

backgroundImmediate implants are popular for the anterior sextants of the mouth and have shown a high success rate for the same. However, their installation in a fresh extraction socket in the posterior segments can also be beneficial to the patients and limit the time for the patient to start the masticatory function. However, there have been contradicting results in different studies.

objectivesThe primary objective of this retrospective study was to establish correlations between factors such as implant dimensions, implant categories, implant location, and various demographic parameters in relation to the longevity of implants. This investigation was conducted through a comprehensive clinical evaluation of immediate implants situated within the molar sections of both the upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) jaws.

methodsBetween October 2015 and August 2022, a total of 158 implants were implanted, with 87 males and 71 females undergoing implant placement following tooth extraction. All implants were reinstated between 12 and 18 weeks after they were placed. Inferential statistics were performed using SPSS Statistics version 23 (IBM Corp. Released 2015. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). The Chi-square test was employed to determine statistical significance (p=0.05) between survived and failed implants in relation to various study factors. Lastly, in order to measure the survival rate under different time periods after implant placement, the life table method and Kaplan-Meier survival rate analysis were used.

resultsSuccess of implants was observed at 149 sites, whereas implant failure was seen at nine sites in total. From placement to loading, the implant failed at five sites, and the cumulative survival rate was found to be 96.83%, from loading to one year, implant failure was seen at three sites, and the cumulative survival rate was found to be 94.9%, from one to two years after loading implant failure was seen at only one site with cumulative survival rate to be 94.93%. From two to three years after loading, implant failure was not seen at any site.

conclusionsRegardless of implant size or insertion location, rapid implant implantation in fresh extraction sockets can result in predictable clinical outcomes.
