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

BACKGROUND Replacing missing teeth in the anterior region of the jaw can be challenging due to the limited available interdental space. Improper selection or inadequate placement of a dental implant in this situation can affect the adjacent anatomical structures negatively. What if, in addition, a residual intraosseous chronic inflammatory lesion was present? The objective of this case report is to demonstrate the step-by-step surgical procedures of replacing a maxillary lateral incisor in a patient with a residual lesion with a satisfactory outcome. CASE REPORT A 63-year-old female patient with an extracted maxillary lateral incisor presented for implant placement. Radiographically, a residual periapical lesion with mild atrophy of the alveolar bone and fairly low density with sparse trabeculation was noted. Owing to the limited restorative space, a Straumann Bone Level Tapered Implant Ø2.9 mm (Small Cross-Fit connection, Roxolid, SLActive) was placed. Histopathological evaluation revealed a definitive diagnosis of periapical granuloma. After 1 year, the clinical examination revealed a successful outcome, and the patient was satisfied with the result. CONCLUSIONS This case report shows a successful clinical and radiographical outcome after 1 year of a 2-piece small diameter dental implant, the Straumann Bone Level Tapered Implant, diameter 2.9 mm, replacing a missing maxillary lateral incisor after enucleating the lesion with histopathological examination.
