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

Proper positioning of implants is necessary in attaining optimum functional and aesthetic results, but freehand methods tend to result in displacement. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the accuracy of 3D-printed surgical guides and free hand placement of implants in polyurethane jaw models. Angular, horizontal and vertical deviation was much lower with guided implants than with freehand placement. Guided surgery also significantly decreased operator variability. Three dimensional printed surgical maps increase the accuracy of implant placement, which justify that they should be used to promote better predictability and clinical performance.
