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

objectivesAdequate bone thickness around dental implants is vital for their stability and to reduce resorption. This study evaluated the ability of implant fixtures to serve as ridge expanders by measuring width changes pre- and post-implantation. MATERIALS AND

methodsMeasurements including initial alveolar bone width, post-osteotomy width, post-expansion width, and buccal bone thickness were recorded for patients undergoing implant placement. Bone quality was assessed using established criteria.

resultsOf the 102 subjects (52% male, 48% female), significant ridge width increases at 0 mm and 2 mm levels were noted (p < 0.05). Larger implant diameters resulted in greater ridge expansion. Absence of prior augmentation was linked to higher bone quality (B = -1.684, p = 0.001), explaining 15% of bone quality variance. Ridge expansion effects also correlated with the site, implant diameter, and design.

conclusionsDental implant fixtures can effectively expand the ridge, with expansion influenced by implant diameter, anatomical location, prior augmentation, and implant design. These factors must be considered for tailored treatment planning in implant dentistry. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study's clinical relevance lies in its exploration of the potential benefits of dental implant fixtures can effectively to expand the ridge taking into consideration implant diameter, anatomical location, prior augmentation, and implant design.
