Does Computer-Assisted Surgery Improve the Accuracy of Immediate Implant Placement? A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of periodontal research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThis systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to answer the PICO question: In patients undergoing immediate implant placement (IIP) [P], does Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS) [I] lead to higher accuracy [O] compared to free-hand (FH) [C] implant placement?
methodsA systematic search of MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was conducted for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published between January 2014 and September 2024, comparing accuracy of CAIS and FH for IIP. Two reviewers screened the studies and extracted data for a network meta-analysis.
resultsOf 2064 records screened, 7 RCTs (338 implants and 291 patients) met the inclusion criteria. These RCTs evaluated FH and dynamic, full static, and partial static CAIS for single or partial implant placement. No RCTs analyzing robotic-assisted implant surgery (RAIS) were found. In 71.4% of the studies, IIP was performed in the anterior maxilla using a flapless approach. Accuracy was assessed by angular, cervical, and apical deviations between planned and real implant positions. All CAIS methods demonstrated significantly higher accuracy than FH (p < 0.05), but no significant differences were observed between CAIS approaches.
conclusionsCAIS significantly improves IIP accuracy, enhancing 3D implant positioning and prosthetic outcomes. All CAIS techniques revealed comparable accuracy, allowing clinicians to select the most suitable approach for each patient.
