Accuracy and efficiency of a calibration approach in dynamic navigation for implant placement: An in vitro study.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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/purpose: Computer-assisted dynamic navigation surgery could provide accurate implant placement. However, its low efficiency was always criticized by dental surgeons. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of a calibration approach with reflective wafers in dynamic navigation for implant placement. Materials and methods: Eighty implants were placed in the standardized polyurethane mandibular models under dynamic navigation and divided into 2 groups according to the calibration methods (n = 40). The U-shaped tube (UT) group used a prefabricated U-shaped tube embedded with radiopaque markers. The reflective wafers (RW) group used a fixation with 3 round reflective wafers as markers. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography images were obtained for implants deviation analyses. The calibration time was used to evaluate the efficiency of the 2 methods. Results: Significant differences were found in the trueness and efficiency between the 2 groups ( Conclusion: The calibration method of RW improved the efficiency significantly and achieved equivalent trueness with UT for dynamic navigation during implant placement.
