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
Objective: The one-piece dental implant was originally designed to overcome the structural weaknesses of the two-piece implant. However, a fractured one-piece implant requires removal because the abutment cannot be repaired or replaced to support new prosthetic restorations. The aim of this study was to clarify the features and risk factors for fracture of the one-piece implant. Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective case series research. The subjects were patients who were treated for fractures of the one-piece implant at a clinic in Japan between 2012 and 2021. Fractures of the one-piece implant were diagnosed by cone-beam computed tomography, and the association between age and duration from implant placement to fracture was analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey test. Results: Eighteen patients and 20 one-piece implants (under 39 years: 5 patients and 6 implants; 40-59 years: 7 patients and 7 implants; over 60 years: 6 patients and 7 implants) had fractures in their one-piece implants. Of the fractured implants, 11 had a diameter of 3 mm, and 9 had a diameter of 4 mm. The mean durations up to implant fracture were 662 days in the younger group, 1467 days in the middle group, and 1239 days in older group, and the duration was significantly shorter in the younger group. In addition, 83.3% of fracture implants in the younger group were in the molar region. All fractures of the one-piece implants occurred under the bone margin. Two patients had torus mandibularis, and 1 patient was had bruxism. Conclusions: One-piece implants in younger patients that are located in the lower molar position are the most susceptible to implant fracture, and the fracture occurred under the bone margin in all cases.
