Correlations of Peri-Implant Parameters with Plaque and Inflammation Indices in Posterior Fixed Implant-Prosthetic Rehabilitation: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of the study was to analyze the peri-implant clinical and radiological parameters and their correlations with the plaque index (mPI) and the inflammation index (GI) in fixed implant-prosthetic therapy. MATERIALS AND
methodThis research was a retrospective study including 48 patients with posterior partial edentulism (age: mean 63.04±10.723 years) treated by implant-supported metal-ceramic bridges, with a mean 6.19 years follow-up. A total of 166 implants were evaluated by clinical (peri-implant pocket depth-PPD) and radiological (peri-implant marginal bone loss-MBL) examen. Plaque index (mPI) and inflammation index (GI) were recorded for each implant site. Mean values of PPD, MBL (mesial), MBL (distal) were assessed. A comparative analysis was conducted regarding relation between PPD and MBL values (distal and mesial) in relation to the mPI and GI indices using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Correlations between the variables PPD, MBL (mesial), and MBL (distal) for the entire study group were calculated by Pearson linear correlation coefficient.
resultsThere were very high positive correlations between pocket depth and mesial marginal bone loss (r=0.951, p<0.001; 95% CI: 0.934-0.964); pocket depth and distal marginal bone loss (r=0.961, p<0.001; 95% CI: 0.947-0.971), and mesial and distal bone loss values (r=0.935, p<0.001; 95% CI: 0.913-0.952).
conclusionThe findings indicate that peri-implant bone loss and pocket depth are strongly correlated and significantly influenced by plaque accumulation and inflammation, highlighting the critical role of the patients' oral hygiene in maintaining peri-implant tissue health.
