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

purposeto quantify the soft tissue dimensional changes after single-gap implant placement, during healing abutment and crown delivery phase for butt-joint and conical implant-abutment connection type.

methodsforty patients were enrolled in the study and received randomly allocated implants with butt-joint and conical implant-abutment connection type. A standard healing abutment was placed after 6 months for two weeks. The definitive screw retained full-ceramic crowns were manufactured in a digital workflow. The soft tissue profile was digitized using IOS on following stages: pre-op, immediately, two, 7 and 14 days post-op, pre-exposure, immediately after exposure, two weeks after exposure (pre-delivery), immediately after crown delivery, 6 and 12 months after delivery. The intraoral scans were matched in the metrology software (Geomagic Control X). The mean maximum and mean average differences in mm were gathered to assess the soft tissues change. Various anamnesis parameters have been taken into account.

resultsthe conical connection implant system exhibited more soft tissue gain and less recession, compared to the butt-joint connection type within the 12 months follow-up period. A higher loss of soft tissue was observed in the distal papilla than in the mesial one.

conclusionsthe implant-abutment connection type may influence the reaction of peri-implant soft tissue within the 12 months follow-up period.
