Incorporating Irrigation Channels in Sleeved Surgical Guides.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A critical stage in dental implant procedures involves preparing the implant site via surgical drilling. Adequate irrigation during this process is crucial to prevent thermal damage to the surrounding bone tissue. While surgical guides significantly improve the accuracy of implant site preparation by directing drill movement, they can also obscure the operative field and impede effective coolant delivery. This report presents design modifications to surgical guides compatible with the Straumann® system (Institut Straumann AG, Switzerland) to enhance coolant access and optimize temperature control during drilling. Three types of surgical guides were developed using specialized computer-aided design software. The first design is a conventional guide without irrigation channels. The second incorporates a single irrigation channel, while the third-an innovative prototype-features a dual-channel irrigation system. In both modified designs, the irrigation outlets are strategically positioned below the lower edge of the guiding sleeve to improve coolant delivery to the drilling site. The results confirm the feasibility of producing this new dual-channel surgical guide. Implantology professionals can replicate and evaluate this design by following the outlined modifications, thereby enhancing both safety and efficacy in guided implant surgery.
