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

An innovative biomechanical procedure for preparing bone for dental implant placement is called osseodensification. The current study evaluated the bibliometric attributes of the research performance on osseodensification. We utilized the osseodensification database that we obtained from the Scopus, Web of science, PubMed, ScienceDriect, and Cochrane Library databases to perform retrospective bibliometric study. The data was searched during April 16, 2024, with the search term "Versah" OR "Densah" OR "Osseodensification". We identified 114 records on the Scopus database, 88 records on Web of Science, 90, 54 and 62 records on PubMed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library, respectively. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, removed the duplicate and irrelevant records (n = 286), and 122 articles were considered for analysis. The year of publications with citations, publishing channels, top contributing countries, institutions, authors, authorship patterns and the attributes of top-10 most cited articles were quantified from the bibliometric parameters of the articles. For the data analysis, Microsoft Excel (v.16) software (Redmond, Washington) was applied. A bibliometric analysis of 122 osseodensification research articles published between 2016 and 2024 revealed key trends. The United States was the leading contributor, followed by Brazil and Italy. The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (n = 9) and Implant Dentistry (n = 74.20 citations/article) were the most prolific journals. While the United States had the highest number of articles (n = 46), Romania demonstrated the highest citation impact per article (27.80 citations/article). Collaboration between institutions, particularly between two, was associated with the highest citations. Most authors contributed to a single article, with an average of nearly five authors (4.79) per article. Rodrigo Neiva was identified as the most prolific author. The top 10 most-cited articles accounted for almost half (48.56%) of all citations. Osseodensification is a potential procedure in implant dentistry with promising prospects for improving implant success rates.
