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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesTo compare the implant stability quotient values (ISQ) of implants placed using implant-specific drills (CD) and osseodensification drills (OD) at three different time points and to determine the effect of both drilling techniques on marginal bone levels. MATERIAL AND

methods38 subjects were recruited and ISQ values and radiographic marginal bone levels were recorded after surgery (T1), and also at 3 (T2) and 4-5 months (T3). Clinical and radiographic marginal bone levels were also recorded.

resultsAt T1, mean ISQ values ranged from 65.5 to 81 for the CD group and 29 to 80 for the OD group. For the CD group, ISQ values were 72.20 ± 2.6 (95% CI) at T1, 75.0 ± 2.0 at T2, and 74.8 ± 2.3 at T3. The corresponding ISQ values for the OD group were 68.1 ± 5.6, 71.9 ± 1.6, and 72.2 ± 2.4, respectively. Implants placed using CD drills showed greater stability at 3 months but not at placement or at 4-5 months. No statistically significant differences were identified regarding marginal bone levels between the two groups.

conclusionsThere was a notable increase in implant stability over time for both treatment modalities. At T2, implants inserted into osteotomies made with standard drills exhibited significantly greater stability compared to those placed using OD drills. However, the clinical relevance of this difference is questionable, as it was not observed at T3. Marginal bone levels were comparable for both groups over all time points.
