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

The microbiological profile surrounding healthy osseointegrated dental implants in patients treated with radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Radiation therapy is known to alter the oral environment, potentially affecting peri-implant microbial colonization. Samples from irradiated patients with clinically healthy implants were analyzed for microbial composition. Thus, we show a distinct microbial signature compared to non-irradiated individuals, though without signs of peri-implant disease. These results highlight the importance of tailored monitoring protocols in post-radiotherapy implant care.
