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

objectiveTo evaluate the short-term clinical treatment effects of erythritol air-polishing(EAP) and ultrasonic debridement (US) on peri-implant mucositis and to report patient-reported outcomes.

methodsThis study is a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. It enrolled patients diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis at the Department of Periodontology, Peking University School of Stomatology between June 2021 and May 2022. A total of 36 patients (with one implant included per patient) were randomly allocated to either the EAP group (

resultsBaseline clinical parameters were comparable between the EAP and US groups. Regarding the primary outcome of mean PPD, the EAP group showed a significant reduction from the baseline value (4.0±0.5) mm to (3.7±0.6) mm at 1 month and (3.4±0.5) mm at 3 months (

conclusionBoth EAP and US effectively treated peri-implant mucositis with comparable overall efficacy. However, EAP showed superior potential in reducing deep pockets over the short term, though this finding required further validation.
