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

The prosthetic emergence profile is a factor potentially affecting marginal bone level around dental implants. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the influence of the prosthetic emergence profile on peri-implant marginal bone-level stability. The marginal bone level is an important parameter in implant dentistry, reflecting the stability of dental implants, and it is a critical indicator of long-term implant success. Minimizing marginal bone loss around dental implants is a key factor for maintaining implant function, supporting peri-implant soft tissues, and achieving predictable aesthetic outcomes. The scientific literature presents various examples of evidence on the influence of emergence angle and prosthetic designs on marginal bone loss. Several studies suggest that emergence angles exceeding 30° and convex prosthetic designs may increase the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, while others find no significant correlation. Moreover, several studies demonstrated the positive influence of taper joint connections on marginal bone stability. Although the current literature remains diverse, it is essential to prioritize cleanability and minimize plaque accumulation for a successful implant-prosthetic restoration. Proper maintenance and a continuous follow-up to monitor marginal bone loss are beneficial for obtaining stable and optimal long-term results.
