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

Conventional analog methods were extensively followed for creating implant-supported prostheses. The advent of digital technologies has replaced these methods. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the clinical efficiency and patient acceptance associated with digital and traditional workflows in implant-supported rehabilitation. Multiple electronic databases were searched for studies published between 2010 and mid-2023. The protocol number of the study was PROSPERO CRD CRD42023471411. Two independent reviewers selected studies, evaluated data, and assessed the risk of bias. A fixed effect model was used for meta-analysis, and summary effects were calculated by odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI. The pooled values for included studies in the meta-analysis were as follows: taste (-4.38 [-6.56, -2.20]), anxiety (-0.83 [-1.57, -0.10]), pain (-1.35 [-2.75, 0.05]), and discomfort (-1.28 [-3.23, 0.67]), indicating reduced complaints for these domains with digital methods (p < 0.05). The digital techniques provided better patient satisfaction and time efficiency. Digital workflows in implant-supported rehabilitation showed better patient satisfaction and reduced procedural discomfort, substantiating a paradigm shift towards digital methodologies.
