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

Additive manufacturing techniques are being used in the medical field. Orthopedic hip prostheses and denture bases are designed and fabricated based on the patient's computer-aided design (CAD) data. We attempted to incorporate this technique into dental implant bone augmentation. Surgical simulation was performed using patient data. Fourteen patients underwent bone augmentation using a selective laser melting (SLM) titanium mesh plate. The results showed no evidence of infection in any of the 14 patients. In 12 patients, only one fixation screw was used, and good results were obtained. The SLM titanium mesh plate was good adaptation in all cases, with bone occupancy greater than 90%. The average bone resorption of the marginal alveolar bone from the time of dental implant placement to the time of the superstructure placement was 0.69 ± 0.25 mm. Implant superstructures were placed in all cases, and bone augmentation with SLM titanium mesh plates was considered a useful technique.
