Evaluation of Implant Placement Risk Levels in Partially Edentulous Patients Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the implant placement risk levels in partially edentulous patients using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and implant planning software. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 101 CBCT scans of partially edentulous patients were included. Evaluations of jawbone anatomy, vital structures' proximity, and the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury with esthetic considerations were done on CBCT images using implant surgery software (Blue Sky Plan 4; Blue Sky Bio, Grayslake, IL).
resultsA total of 101 patients with 106 edentulous sites were examined. The mean ridge height of the non-esthetic zone was 10 mm and 14.4 mm in the maxilla and mandible, respectively. The period of edentulousness significantly affected the risk of placing implants in the non-esthetic zone (P<.05). The relation between gender and mandibular canal identification was significant (P<.01). A higher risk of implant placement is associated with a more extended period of edentulousness. The preoperative assessment revealed that the mandibular canal could be identified more easily in females than males; thus, nerve injury could be avoided. However, age had no associated effect.
conclusionAge has no associated effect on the implant placement risk levels for partially edentulous patients during dental implant planning. A higher risk of implant placement is associated with a more extended period of edentulousness. Mandibular canal identification during virtual preoperative assessment was higher in females.
