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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundEvaluation of neurosensory disturbances (ND) and the success rate of dental implants related to inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL) and immediate dental implant placement in the posterior atrophic mandible.

methodsA prospective clinical case series was conducted among five edentulous patients with posterior mandibular atrophy. The study included 9 IANL sites. Nerve function and implant success rate were assessed during follow-up. Differences between pre- and post-operative outcomes were analyzed.

resultsThe study included patients aged 24-72 years, with a mean age of 56.22 ± 16.49 years and a male predominance (77.7%). Surgical procedures were performed on the right side in 55.56% of cases and on the left side in 44.44%. By one month, 44.4% reported full recovery, 33.3% reported moderate hypoesthesia, and 22.3% had mild hypoesthesia. At three months, 33.3% had full recovery, 55.6% experienced mild hypoesthesia, and 11.1% (1 patient) reported anesthesia. At six months, 88.9% had recovered, with only one patient (11.1%) still reporting anesthesia. A statistically significant difference in ND was observed across follow-ups at day one, week one, month one, month three, and month six (χ² = 30.3, p < 0.001). Pairwise comparisons revealed significant improvements from day one to month one (p = 0.03), day one to month three (p = 0.008), and day one to month six (p = 0.005), while the difference between day one and week one was not significant (p = 1.00). No significant correlations were found between ND recovery and patient age or membrane type at any follow-up interval (p > 0.05).

conclusionThe study showed that IANL with immediate implant placement is an effective technique for rehabilitating atrophic posterior mandibles.

trial registrationThe study protocol has been registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier NCT07104994, 5/8/2025), and the date of registration was retrospectively determined.
