Comparison of the accuracy/precision among guided (static), manual, and dynamic navigation in dental implant surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess whether dynamic navigation (dCAIS) has greater accuracy/precision and less discrepancy in parallelism compared to guided (static, sCAIS) and free-hand (FH) surgery in Implantology. MATERIALS AND
methodsA search was conducted across six databases using specific key terms. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), retrospective or prospective clinical studies published within the last 10 years (2014-2024) were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model was employed. The heterogeneity analysis was conducted using Cochran's Q-test and Higgins' I
resultsThirteen articles were included. A total of 554 patients and 687 implants were enrolled, with 215 using the FH system, 195 using sCAIS, and 277 using dCAIS. The meta-analysis compared the following: (1) dCAIS vs. sCAIS; (2) dCAIS vs. FH; (3) sCAIS vs. FH. The first group had a mean difference of -0.08 mm, with a substantial heterogeneity (I² = 52%) and no statistically significant difference (p = 0.08); the second presented a mean difference of -0.48 mm, high heterogeneity (I²=89%), and a statistically significant better accuracy for dCAIS than FH (p < 0.01); the last comparison found a mean difference of -0.62 mm, with a considerable heterogeneity (I²=84%), and sCAIS showing statistically significantly better accuracy than the FH approach (p < 0.01).
conclusionsUsing CAIS (dCAIS or sCAIS) substantially improved accuracy compared to the FH approach, with no statistically significant difference between dCAIS and sCAIS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The findings support the use of CAIS for improved implant accuracy and precision compared to FH techniques.
