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

backgroundImmediate implantation guided by digital templates has drawn a great attention in the aesthetic zone, while the accuracy of immediate implantation guided by digital templates has yielded mixed results and many potential factors are known to affect its accuracy. The purpose of our systematic review was to evaluate the accuracy of implant placement guided by the digital template and summarizing its potentials influencing factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted an electronic search of publications upto July 2023, using PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science to identify studies on accuracy of immediate implant placement surgery guided by digital templates. We selected cohort studies (prospective and retrospective studies) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The primary outcome was accuracy of immediate implant placement surgery guided by digital templates.

resultsSeven studies in total fulfilled the inclusion criteria, comprising two prospective studies and five retrospective studies. We collected data including names of authors, publication period, study design, total sample size, clinical conditionas, planning/preoperative details, surgical procedure information, and evaluation criteria. Average global coronal deviation, apical deviation, depth deviation and angular deviation were respectively 0.74 mm (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-1.08, I CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Our systematic review demonstrates that immediate implantation guided by digital templates generally achieves acceptable accuracy. Factors influencing accuracy include the type of surgical guide, method of guide fabrication, surgical protocols, anatomical variability, and preoperative planning challenges. To improve clinical application, it is crucial to enhance the reporting of patient-centred outcomes and socioeconomic benefits.
