Implantoplasty vs. Rotating Titanium Brushes in the Surgical Treatment of Peri-Implantitis: A 1-Year Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Journal of clinical periodontology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimTo evaluate treatment outcomes following implantoplasty or the use of rotating titanium brushes in the surgical therapy of peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty patients with peri-implantitis in need of surgical treatment were enrolled in a 12-month randomised clinical trial with a non-inferiority set-up. Surface decontamination was performed using either titanium brushes (test group) or implantoplasty (control group). Clinical and radiographic parameters as well as patient-reported outcomes (Oral Health Impact Profile-14; OHIP-14) were evaluated.
resultsAt 12 months, the composite outcome was achieved in 6/15 implants in the test group and in 4/15 in the control group. Probing pocket depth (PPD) values decreased by 3.6 ± 1.5 mm (test) and 3.3 ± 1.2 mm (control), demonstrating non-inferiority of the test procedure. Additional bone loss was observed in the control group (0.7 ± 1.2 mm), while bone levels remained unchanged in the test group (0.0 ± 0.6 mm). Baseline PPD (p = 0.044) and the presence of an adjacent implant affected by peri-implantitis (p = 0.033) were relevant factors for pocket closure (PPD ≤ 5 mm at 12 months). Time for surface decontamination was significantly less in the test (3 min 1 s) when compared to the control group (5 min 27 s) (p = 0.006). OHIP-14 scores were statistically indifferent.
conclusionBoth groups showed favourable outcomes, demonstrating non-inferiority of titanium brushes to implantoplasty.
