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

introductionTo investigate the influence of bone density and guide protocol on the accuracy of static guided implant placement of self-cutting implants in vitro.

methodsA total of 242 implant replicas of self-cutting implants and implants with a tapered design as a control were placed in 40 maxilla replica models with healed posterior ridges differing in bone density and anterior extraction sockets. After full-guided osteotomy, the implants in the healed ridge were either placed through the template or freehand. In anterior extraction sockets, a pilot-guided group was additionally investigated. Postoperative scans were superimposed with the planning and investigated for angular, coronal, and apical deviation.

resultsFor 3D coronal deviation, the study indicates significantly lower deviations in soft bone (p < 0.01) and for guided implant placement (p < 0.01) in posterior sites. Apical and angular deviations are significantly influenced by the placement protocol (p ≤ 0.03) and the presence of reference points from neighbouring teeth (p < 0.01). In the anterior site, the coronal deviation seems to be improved by a direct view of the surgical field, while 3D apical and angular accuracy appears to benefit from a high degree of guidance (p < 0.01).

conclusionWithin the limitations of this in vitro study, for low bone density, immediate implant placement, and in clinically challenging situations without reference to the adjacent teeth, the use of template guidance for insertion statistically significantly reduced deviation.
