Time- and Cost-Efficient, Minimally Invasive Comparative Assessment of Implant Stability: Reliability and Inter-Examiner Agreement of IST Versus ISQ Across Different Bone Quality Models.

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
This study evaluated the reliability and inter-examiner agreement of the Implant Stability Test (IST) by Anycheck compared to the established Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) by Osstell across different bone quality types. Seven dental hygienists with varying experience levels performed stability measurements using both devices on standardized implant models representing hard, normal, and soft bone qualities. Both IST and ISQ demonstrated excellent inter-examiner reliability (ICC > 0.90) across all bone quality types, with strong positive correlations (r > 0.85) between measurements regardless of bone density. No significant differences were found in measurement consistency between examiners with different experience levels for either device. The results demonstrate that IST provides comparable reliability to ISQ for implant stability assessment, with excellent inter-examiner agreement and accessibility for practitioners with varying experience levels. The IST system offers practical advantages including elimination of SmartPeg requirements, reduced abutment manipulation, and simplified measurement protocols, supporting its potential as a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional ISQ measurements under standardized experimental conditions.
