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
Background: This system evaluates the effect of static navigation systems on accuracy (platform, apical and angular deviation) in clinical studies of implant surgery in the anterior aesthetic zone to inform clinical decision-making. Methodology: Retrieve Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library databases, as well as randomized controlled trials (RCT) and controlled clinical trials (CCT) comparing dynamic navigation and static guidance published by the US Clinical Trial Registry before May 1, 2023. The outcome indicators included in the study include measuring the deviation between the preoperative design of the implant and the actual site at the top, apex, and angle. The calculation of meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager version 5.2 software. Results: 1134 articles were screened and retrieved, and finally 4 studies were included for quantitative analysis. Meta analysis results showed that the two groups had lower depth angle deviation (WMD=-0.30, 95%CI: (0.24, 1.78), P=0.01) at the top (WMD=0.14, 95% CI: (-0.26, 0.55), P=0.49) and root tip (WMD=0.25, 95%CI: (-0.34, 0.84), P=0.41) compared to the static guide plate group, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The static guide plate provides a small implant placement error, which is comparable to the error obtained using dynamic navigation systems, but dynamic navigation exhibits a smaller angle deviation.
