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

Achieving a stable passive fit is important in implant treatment, especially for restorations of screw-retained superstructures. A passive fit is often evaluated by tactile sensing of tightening a fixing screw; however, tactile sensing is a subjective procedure. Objective and quantitative assessment of passive fits can be performed by measuring the tightening torque on prosthetic screws. In this clinical case, accumulative screw tightening torques for passive fit and misfit superstructures were calculated to examine the usefulness of the proposed method. The results suggested that accumulative torques and time slopes of torques may be potentially useful parameters for quantitatively evaluating passive fits; further laboratory and/or clinical trials are necessary.
