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
This study has been carried out to analyze the influence of the design of three geometric elements (wall thickness, platform width, and chamfer) of Ti-base abutments on the distribution of stresses and strains on the implant, the retention screw, the Ti base, and the bone. This study was carried out using FEA, analyzing eight different Ti-base models based on combinations of the geometric factors under study. The model was adapted to the standard Dynamic Loading Test For Endosseous Dental Implants. A force of 360 N with a direction of 30° was simulated and the maximum load values were calculated for each model, which are related to a result higher than the proportional elastic limit of the implant. The transferred stresses according to von Mises and microdeformations were measured for all the alloplastic elements and the simulated support bone, respectively. These results were validated with a static load test using a creep testing machine. The results show that the design factors involved with the most appropriate stress distribution are the chamfer, a thick wall, and a narrow platform. A greater thickness (0.4 mm) is also related to lower stress values according to von Mises at the level of the retaining screws. In general, the distributions of tension at the implants and microdeformation at the level of the cortical and trabecular bone are similar in all study models. The in vitro study on a Ti-base control model determined that the maximum load before the mechanical failure of the implant is 360 N, in accordance with the results obtained for all the Ti-base designs analyzed in the FEA. The results of this FEA study show that modifications to the Ti-base design influence the biomechanical behavior and, ultimately, the way in which tension is transferred to the entire prosthesis-implant-bone system.
