Influence of Abutment Screw-Tightening Methods on the Screw Joint: Immediate and Long-Term Stability.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To evaluate the influence of screw-tightening methods on the immediate and long-term stability of dental implant screw joints. Results: For different types of implants, the IRTs were 11.92 ± 1.04-34.12 ± 0.36 Ncm for method A, 11.64 ± 0.57-33.96 ± 0.29 Ncm for method B, and 10.30 ± 0.41-31.62 ± 0.52 Ncm for method C, and the IRTs of methods A and B were 6.28%-21.58% higher than that of method C ( Conclusions: Method B (torquing and then loosening and immediate retorquing) increases the screw joint immediate stability by 6.28%-21.58% and the long-term stability by 11.77%-44.87% compared with method C (torquing only once), has comparable screw joint stability compared with method A (retorquing after 10 min), saves time and is recommended in clinical settings.
