Antimicrobial Sol-Gel Glassy Surfaces for Modification of Dental Implant Abutments to Reduce Microbial Adhesion.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Microbial colonization is a major factor contributing to peri-implantitis, and creating durable glassy surfaces with antimicrobial agents such as silver and copper may reduce microbial accumulation on dental abutments. This study aimed to develop antimicrobial thin-film glassy surfaces on Ti6Al4V alloy and to evaluate their surface and mechanical properties, antimicrobial effectiveness, and biocompatibility before and after thermal aging. A sol-gel-derived glassy matrix (G) was synthesized, and two antimicrobial coatings were prepared by incorporating ionic Ag (GAg) or a combination of Ag/Cu (GAgCu). Ti6Al4V specimens; these were either left uncoated or dip-coated with G, GAg, or GAgCu and cured at 450 °C. Half of the specimens underwent thermal aging between 5 °C and 55 °C for 3000 cycles. Surface roughness, contact angle, hardness, adhesion strength, scratch resistance, cytotoxicity (Agar diffusion and MTT assay on L929 fibroblasts), and microbial adhesion were evaluated using
