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

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the attitudes and practices of dental professionals regarding radiographic prescriptions during implant treatment and evaluate their knowledge of critical biological considerations in implant therapy. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with surveying 70 dental professionals to evaluate their clinical practices and knowledge regarding implant radiography and biological considerations. Results: The findings revealed notable trends: the predominant use of CBCT for both single (61.4%) and multiple implant therapies (98.6%), highlighting its status as the preferred imaging modality for accuracy and detailed planning. Occupational influence on radiographic choices was significant; specialists such as Implantologists and Periodontists predominantly favored CBCT, whereas Prosthodontics professionals exhibited varied preferences. Radiographs during implant placement showed strong adherence to best practices, with 81% taking radiographs with guide pins and 97.6% confirming implant position post-placement. Knowledge of biological parameters was generally high, with over 81% correctly identifying the optimal 3 mm biological distance between implants, and 74.3% recognizing 1.5 mm as the ideal width between tooth and implant. Conclusion: Despite these positive indicators, variability in responses underscores the need for standardized training and guidelines to optimize implant outcomes.
