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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the vertical misfit at the implant-abutment interface in external and internal connections across various implant brands, comparing original milled titanium abutments with laser-sintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) abutments. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 160 implants from four different brands were utilized, with 80 featuring external connections (EC) and 80 internal connections (IC). Original milled titanium abutments (n = 160) and Co-Cr laser-sintered abutments (n = 160) were randomly attached to each connection type, following the manufacturer's recommended torque. After undergoing thermal cycling, the vertical misfit was measured using a scanning electron microscope. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The significance level was set at α = 0.05.
resultsThe original milled titanium abutments exhibited the lowest misfit values. Significant differences were identified between both abutment types for EC (d = 109.578 μm; p = 0.0001) and IC (d = 44.317 μm; p = 0.002). The EC with laser-sintered abutments demonstrated the highest marginal misfit values, with an average of nearly 30 μm, while a misfit value of 11.382 μm was achieved in the IC. Differences were observed among the brands for milled abutments in both EC and IC. Similarly, variations were also noted for the laser-sintered Co-Cr abutments in EC and IC configurations.
conclusionsThe vertical misfit of the original milled titanium abutments in all groups was within the clinically acceptable range for IC. The connection type significantly impacted the vertical misfit in laser-sintered Co-Cr abutments. Differences among the implant systems were observed for both connection types and abutment types evaluated. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Using original milled titanium abutments, particularly in internal connection systems, can lead to better fit and stability at the implant-abutment interface, potentially reducing the risk of mechanical complications and improving long-term implant success.
