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

objectivesTo report oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a sample rehabilitated with dental implants and assess the influence of self-reported implant complications and clinical peri-implant status. A secondary aim was to investigate associations between OHIP-14 scores and patient-related variables. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe Norwegian National Insurance Scheme registry for implant rehabilitation in 2014 was searched, and patients (n = 3083) were mailed a survey including OHIP-14, questions about peri-implant status, and patient-related variables. A subsample was examined clinically (n = 242). Associations of self-reported implant complications and clinical peri-implant status with OHIP-14 scores were evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression models.

resultsThe OHIP-14 mean sum score reported by the 1299 survey respondents was 4.1 (± 6.4). Self-report of complications was associated with higher OHIP-14 scores in a dose-dependent manner. Lower education (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.05-2.22), female sex (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.23-2.56), technical complication(s) (OR 1.58, 95% CI: 1.07-2.34), biological complication(s) (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.67-3.49) and poor cleansability (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.64-5.37) were associated (p < 0.05) with higher OHIP-14 mean sum scores in the adjusted regression model. For the 242 patients examined clinically, the OHIP-14 mean sum score was 3.8 (± 6.5). Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.17-5.49) was associated with higher OHIP-14 mean sum scores in the adjusted regression model.

conclusionsOHIP-14 scores were low in this study, indicating good OHRQoL following implant rehabilitation in Norway. Complications lowered OHRQoL in a dose-response manner, confirmed by self-reports of complications and by the presence of peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence.
