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

backgroundChronic psychological stress (CPS) is increasingly recognized for its detrimental effects on systemic and oral health, yet its impact on peri-implantitis remains underexplored.

aimTo evaluate the evidence linking CPS to peri-implantitis.

methodsThis systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Publications searching PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for human studies published in English from 1983 to December 2024. Additionally, quality assessment of selected full-text articles were performed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

resultsFrom an initial total of 3964 studies, 4 cross-sectional studies comprising 432 participants met the inclusion criteria and consistently demonstrated a positive association between CPS and peri-implantitis. However, the findings are compromised by small sample sizes, study design limitations, methodological heterogeneity, and inadequate adjustment for critical confounders such as smoking and prior periodontitis.

conclusionCortisol levels in peri-implant sulcus fluid were linearly correlated with probing depth, with evidence suggesting this relationship may be independent of hyperglycemia. Depression emerged as the most significant CPS subtype associated with peri-implantitis. Additionally, CPS may amplify peri-implantitis inflammation by modulating cytokine expression effects. Long-term studies with larger, more diverse patient populations and careful control of confounding variables are needed to establish causality and understand the underlying mechanisms. Including psychological evaluations and stress management techniques in peri-implant care protocols could improve treatment outcomes and patient health.
