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

purposeTo evaluate the survival and success rates of a novel two-piece zirconia implant system restored with screw-retained glass-ceramic crowns over 12 months, including assessment of bone levels, soft tissue parameters, and patient-reported outcome measures.

methodsTwenty-four patients received single two-piece zirconia implants (CERALOG

resultsThe implant survival rate at 12 months was 60.9%. Nine implants were lost: two due to lack of osseointegration at re-entry, four due to mobility after loading, and three due to fractures in the coronal third after loading. Surviving implants showed stable soft tissue parameters with mean probing pocket depths of 2.7 ± 0.7 mm at 12 months. The mean distance from implant shoulder to first bone contact decreased from 1.9 ± 0.6 mm at loading to 1.4 ± 0.6 mm at 12 months. Patients with surviving implants reported high satisfaction scores (4.8 ± 0.4) for function and aesthetics.

conclusionsThe two-piece zirconia implant system with screw-retained restorations showed unsatisfactory survival rates. The combination of ceramic implants with screw-retained prosthetic restorations may have contributed to the higher failure rates observed. As a pilot study with a relatively small sample size, these findings should be confirmed by larger multicenter studies to validate these preliminary results.
