Patient-Reported and Clinician-Reported Esthetic Outcomes at Implant Sites Are Not Associated: A Systematic Review With Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical oral implants research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesThis systematic review aimed to determine whether patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are associated with clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) in terms of esthetics in patients with single implant-supported crowns in the esthetic region.
methodsA systematic electronic search was conducted following a pre-established protocol to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) involving patients with single implant-supported crowns in the esthetic region. Studies had to assess both patient- and clinician-reported outcomes. A two-stage individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis was conducted. First, each study was analyzed separately to obtain correlation coefficients. Second, these estimates were pooled using a random-effects restricted maximum likelihood (REML) model.
resultsA total of 29 RCTs evaluating 1414 implant-supported crowns were included, with IPD available for 14 trials evaluating 675 patients. At crown insertion, IPD meta-analysis from 171 patients across four RCTs showed no significant correlations (r = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.04; 0.27], p = 0.16) between pink esthetic score (PES) and patient satisfaction with esthetics assessed with visual analogue scale (VAS). At the 1-year follow-up, IPD from 502 patients in 11 studies showed a negligible positive correlation (r = 0.09, 95% CI [-0.00; 0.18], p = 0.06) between PES or modified PES and VAS esthetic satisfaction. At 10-year follow-up, data from 80 patients in two studies showed no correlation between modified PES and VAS patient satisfaction (r = -0.05, 95% CI [-0.37; 0.27], p = 0.75). Regarding white esthetic score (WES) and VAS satisfaction, data from 376 patients in seven studies showed no significant correlations at the 1-year follow-up (r = 0.03, 95% CI [-0.08; 0.13], p = 0.60).
conclusionClinician-reported outcomes, using PES and WES, showed no correlation with patient-reported esthetic satisfaction, regardless of the follow-up duration.
