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

Platform-switching (PS) reduces peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL) compared with conventional platform-matched (PM). Hence, we conducted a single-center retrospective radiographic study comparing 12-month MBL around PS and PM bone-level implants restored with fixed prostheses. Standardized periapical radiographs were calibrated to implant thread pitch and analyzed by blinded examiners. Among 128 implants (PS, n=64; PM, n=64), mean 12-month MBL was 0.28 ± 0.24 mm for PS vs 0.44 ± 0.31 mm for PM; the adjusted mean difference was -0.16 mm (95% CI -0.24 to -0.08; p=0.001). Thus, PS also showed a lower (non-significant) proportion with MBL ≥ 1.5 mm.
