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

backgroundImmediate implant placement is a technique-sensitive procedure, requiring precise positioning on the palatal aspect to ensure ideal prosthetic emergence and contour. Achieving primary stability is essential for the placement of an immediate provisional crown. The Inverted Co-Axis implant is uniquely designed for this purpose, featuring a 12-degree angled neck and a widened middle third, allowing central positioning within the alveolar socket while maintaining primary stability. Given its uncommon use, this study aimed to compare the performance of the Inverted Co-Axis implant with that of a conventional conical implant. MATERIALS AND

methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 patients, equally divided into two groups (n=15). Immediate implants were placed in the anterior maxilla, each restored with an immediate provisional crown and accompanied by connective tissue grafting during surgery. Outcomes included implant survival, success rates, primary stability (insertion torque, ISQ), bone remodeling, and aesthetic results. Statistical analysis comprised descriptive measures (mean, SD, median, quartiles) and appropriate inferential tests: Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed-rank, Student's t-test, Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman's correlation, and Brunner-Langer. Significance was set at α=0.05.

resultsAll implants survived (100% survival rate). Success rates were 93.3% in the control group and 73.3% in the test group, with no statistically significant difference. Insertion torque averaged 35 Ncm (control) and 42 Ncm (test), with ISQ values between 56-62 in both groups. Minimal horizontal bone loss was observed at 1mm, 3mm and 5mm. Vertical bone loss was greater on the buccal aspect in the test group, while palatal loss was higher in the control group. Aesthetic evaluation via the Pink Esthetic Score yielded comparable results.

conclusionsBoth implant designs proved effective and reliable for immediate post-extraction implantation, with favorable outcomes in stability, bone preservation, and aesthetics.
