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

Rectangular Block Implant (RBIs) were manufactured, using computer-aided-design lathe turning, surface roughened with grit blasting and gamma irradiated. Implants were surgically placed into the resorbed edentulous mandibular ridges of both greyhound dogs (ex vivo and in vivo) and humans; the pooled total was 17 placements. The aim was to achieve mechanical stability and full implant submergence without damage to the mandibular canal and without bone fracture: fulfilment of all of these criteria was deemed to be a successful surgical outcome. Rectangular osteotomy sites were prepared with piezo surgical instrumentation. Sixteen implants were fully submerged and achieved good primary stability without bone fracture and without evidence of impingement of the mandibular canal. One implant placement was deemed a failure due to bone fracture: the event of a random successful outcome was rejected (
