Analysis of Peri-Implantitis Photothermal Therapy Effect According to Laser Irradiation Location and Angle: A Numerical Approach.
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In recent years, dental implants have become increasingly popular around the world. However, if the implant is not properly managed, inflammation may occur, and the implant itself may need to be removed. Peri-implantitis is a common inflammation that occurs in dental implants, and various laser treatments have recently been studied to eliminate it. In this study, the situation of removing peri-implantitis using photothermal therapy, one of the various laser treatments, was analyzed theoretically and numerically. The temperature distribution in the tissue for various laser irradiation locations, angles, and power was calculated based on heat transfer theory, and the degree of thermal damage to tissue was analyzed using the Arrhenius damage integral. In addition, the thermally damaged region ratio of inflamed and normal tissue was analyzed using the Arrhenius thermal damage ratio and normal tissue Arrhenius thermal damage ratio to confirm the trend of treatment results for each treatment condition. The results of the study showed that if only the thermal damage to the inflamed tissue is considered, the laser should be angled vertically, and the laser should be applied to the center of the inflamed tissue rather than close to the implant. However, if the thermal damage to the surrounding normal tissue is also considered, it was found that the laser should be applied at 1.0 mm from the right end of the inflamed tissue for maximum effect. This will allow for more accurate clinical treatment of peri-implantitis in the future.
