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

purposeImmediate implant placement (IIP) offers several advantages, including minimizing hard and soft tissue deformation, reducing implant time and cost, and rapidly restoring tooth function. However, IIP is technically challenging due to the need to secure initial stability and limit functional loading during healing. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a bone-level implant featuring a dual thread design-an upper U-shaped thread and a lower V-shaped thread-with an 11° internal hexagonal connection in IIP within the maxillary esthetic zone.

methodsThis study included 20 patients. Implants were inserted immediately after tooth extraction. Soft tissue changes were evaluated before tooth extraction (V0), after IIP (V1), at prosthesis delivery (V5), at a 3-month follow-up after prosthesis delivery (V6), and at a 1-year follow-up (V8). Bone dimensional changes were assessed at V1 and V8 using cone beam computed tomography, and the marginal bone level (MBL) was evaluated at V6 and V8 using 2-dimensional.

resultsOf the 20 patients, 3 dropped out due to osseointegration failure during the follow-up period. Although the horizontal dimensions of the soft and hard tissues decreased slightly, the gingival margin and MBL remained well maintained throughout the follow-up.

conclusionsWithin this limited dataset, the lower V-shaped thread enabled favorable initial stability in IIP, and the esthetic outcomes were positive-with minimal gingival recession and marginal bone loss. Long-term follow-up is required to fully assess the impact of thread design and connection on esthetics.
