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 effect of implant size and crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio on crestal bone loss in partially edentulous patients is of interest. Fourteen patients were assigned to short, wide implant with high C/I ratio (1-1.2) or long, narrow implants with low C/I ratio (0.5-0.9). Crestal bone loss was assessed radiographically at baseline and four months post-loading using standardized imaging and blinded observers. Mean bone loss was 0.232 mm for high C/I implants and 0.459 mm for low C/I implants, with no significant difference (p = 0.133). These findings suggest that higher C/I ratios do not adversely affect short-term implant performance in the absence of mechanical overload.
