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

The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical properties of implants made of different materials to replace missing teeth by using three-dimensional finite element analysis and provide a theoretic basis for clinical application. CBCT data was imported into the Mimics and 3-Matic to construct the three-dimensional finite element model of a missing tooth restored by an implant. Then, the model was imported into the Marc Mentat. Based on the variations of the implant materials (titanium, titanium-zirconia, zirconia and poly (ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK)) and bone densities (high and low), a total of eight models were created. An axial load of 150 N was applied to the crown of the implant to simulate the actual occlusal situation. Both the maximum values of stresses in the cortical bone and implant were observed in the Zr-low model. The maximum displacements of the implants were also within the normal range except for the PEEK models. The cancellous bone strains were mainly distributed in the apical area of the implant, and the maximum value (3225 μstrain) was found in PEEK-low model. Under the premise of the same implant material, the relevant data from various indices in low-density bone models were larger than that in high-density bone models. From the biomechanical point of view, zirconia, titanium and titanium-zirconia were all acceptable implant materials for replacing missing teeth and possessed excellent mechanical properties, while the application of PEEK material needs to be further optimized and modified.
