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

objectivesTo evaluate the potential of laser-microtextured abutments (LMAs) compared to machined abutments (MAs) in peri-implant clinical and radiographic outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsEligible studies consisted of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) retrieved from MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases. The study adhered to the PRISMA statement, and the protocol was registered at the PROSPERO (registration number CRD42023443112). The risk of bias was evaluated according to version 2 of the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2). Meta-analyses were performed using random effect models. Afterward, the GRADE approach was used to determine the certainty of evidence.

resultsFour RCTs were included from a total of 2,876 studies. LMAs had lower peri-implant sulcus depth at 6-8 weeks (WMD: -0.69 mm; 95% CI: -0.97, -0.40; p = 0.15, I

conclusionsThere was low to moderate certainty evidence that LMAs can favor peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters compared to MAs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Laser-microtextured abutments may benefit peri-implant clinical and radiographic outcomes.
