Beyond Accuracy: Clinical Outcomes of Computer Assisted Implant Surgery.
Review in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesComputer Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS) with different technologies and modalities is becoming increasingly utilized in clinical practice. The aim of this White Paper was to synthesize evidence, reported experience, and best practices with regard to clinically relevant outcomes of static, dynamic, and robotic CAIS. MATERIALS AND
methodsA review of the literature compiled existing evidence from clinical studies up to November 2024, which was later discussed and synthesized into clinically relevant questions with a panel of international experts.
resultsThere is overwhelming evidence for the superiority of static, dynamic, and robotic CAIS with regard to the accuracy of implant placement and some limited evidence of superior esthetic outcomes. At the same time, outcomes related to implant primary stability, survival rates, intra- and postoperative complications, marginal bone loss, and peri-implant tissue health appear similar between guided and non-guided implant surgery, while efficiency is poorly defined and studied. The importance of accuracy in the execution of a comprehensive, prosthetically driven treatment plan is not reflected in most studies, which focus mainly on the assessment of procedures rather than entire treatment workflows. Such inherent limitations of available research might conceal some of the potential of guided CAIS.
conclusionsGuided CAIS can achieve at least as good clinical outcomes as non-guided implant surgery. Studies that can assess the benefits of CAIS as part of a treatment workflow, rather than isolated procedures, could improve our understanding of the potential of these technologies.
