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

purposeThis review was conducted to systematically assess the impact of bisphosphonates (BPs) and denosumab, used as anti-resorptive therapies, on the incidence of dental implant failure.

methodsElectronic and manual searches were performed in accordance with the described search protocol. Only articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. The primary outcome was implant failure, while secondary outcomes included biological complications and comorbidities. Following data extraction, a quality assessment and meta-analysis were conducted.

resultsFourteen eligible studies were included in the analysis following a qualitative evaluation. BP administration, regardless of the timing of anti-resorptive therapy, did not significantly increase the risk of implant failure (odds ratio [OR], 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.83-2.34). Subgroup analysis revealed a slightly higher, although statistically insignificant, risk of failure in patients with a follow-up period of 3 years or more compared to those with a follow-up duration of less than 3 years (with ORs of 2.82 and 1.53, respectively). Due to a lack of eligible studies, a meta-analysis for denosumab could not be conducted.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that BP treatment does not compromise the survival of dental implants. Specifically, in patients with osteoporosis, implant failure rates were not significantly influenced by the administration of BPs before the placement of dental implants, suggesting that low-dose BP therapy may not contraindicate implant placement. Nevertheless, regular check-ups and maintenance periodontal treatment must not be neglected, and concomitant biological factors should be considered to ensure the long-term success of implant rehabilitation.
