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
Implantoplasty is widely used to treat peri-implantitis by removing biofilms from Ti6Al4V dental implants using rotating drills. This study examined the effects of diamond and tungsten carbide drills, and rotation direction (clockwise/counterclockwise), on surface modification, corrosion behavior, and cytotoxicity. Machining was performed for one minute under a controlled load. Surface roughness, nanohardness, compressive residual stress, and wettability were evaluated, along with SEM and EDX microanalyses of the residues. Corrosion behavior was evaluated using potentiostatic and potentiodynamic tests in Hank's solution. Ion release was monitored over time, and fibroblast viability was tested using extracts at various dilutions. The higher abrasiveness of diamond drills leads to increases roughness from 0.22 mm (control) to 0.73 and 0.59 for diamond and tungsten carbide drills, respectively; in hardness from 2.2 GPa for the control to 4.8 and 3.9 GPa; and in residual compressive stress from -26 to -125 and -111 MPa, with diamond drills inducing more significant changes and producing more hydrophilic surfaces with contact angles around 54° in relation to 80° and 62° for the control and tungsten carbide, respectively. Tungsten carbide drills caused lower corrosion rates (0.0323 mm/year) than diamond drills (0.052 mm/year). In addition, we observed the presence of tungsten ion release. Cytotoxic effects on human fibroblasts were observed with both bur types, and were more pronounced with tungsten carbide, especially at lower dilutions. Only 1:10 dilutions maintained consistent cytocompatibility. The rotation direction showed no significant impact. These findings emphasize the critical influence of bur selection in implantoplasty on the biological response of surrounding tissues.
