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

Accurate implant positioning is essential for ensuring long-term prosthetic success and peri-implant health. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the precision, surgical efficiency and short-term clinical outcomes between dynamic navigation (DN) and static 3D-printed guides (SG) in single-tooth implant placement. Fifty patients were randomly assigned to either the DN (n=25) or SG (n=25) group and parameters such as coronal, apical and angular deviations, surgical time, implant stability (ISQ) and patient satisfaction were assessed. DN demonstrated significantly higher accuracy (coronal deviation 0.90±0.30 mm vs 1.40±0.40 mm; p<0.001) and reduced surgical time (18±4 min vs 22±5 min; p=0.002) compared with SG, while early implant stability and complication rates were similar between groups. Thus, we show that dynamic navigation enhances implant placement accuracy and efficiency without compromising short-term clinical outcomes, supporting its clinical advantage over conventional static guides.
