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

backgroundModification of diameter stability after the abutment retention can result in a decrease in the applied torque or affect the peri-implant tissue, compromising the longevity of the treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how different connection angles (11.5° and 16.0°) at the implant-abutment interface influence implant diameter stability under the manufacturer's recommended torque.

methodsEighty Morse cone-type implant specimens were divided into two groups, with different internal conicity angles: 11.5° (

resultsConsidering the comparative analysis between the final and initial diameters, a non-significant increase in diameter, in the cervical implant region, after torque on the abutment, was observed. The torque applied to the abutments did not produce deformations in the cervical area of Morse taper implants.

conclusionsThe torque applied to the abutment screw in implants with a Morse taper connection does not cause deformation in the cervical area of the implant body in implant with 11.5° and 16.0° conicity angles.
