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

objectivesPredicting implant stability preoperatively remains a challenge. Computed tomography (CT) based finite element (FE) simulations virtually evaluate the mechanical performance of the bone-implant construct. However, translation requires trustworthy simulations based on clinically relevant CT data. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prediction accuracy of FE models created from cone-beam CT (CBCT) images against experimental results of primary implant stability in human bone specimens. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty-three dental implants were inserted into bone biopsies extracted from three cadaveric mandibles, and biomechanical testing was performed to determine the load-bearing capacity in a previous study. CBCT-based sample-specific homogenized FE (hFE) models were used to predict ultimate force. The accuracy of the CBCT-based hFE model predictions was compared to the experimental results and to previous μCT-based hFE models.

resultsThe ultimate load predicted by the CBCT-based hFE models correlated well with the experimental one (R

conclusionBy showing that CBCT-based hFE modeling can predict primary stability, this study represents an important step forward toward the clinical translatability of these numerical models as preoperative predictors of primary stability. Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed, such as the lack of an accurate and quantitative way to calibrate CBCT images.
