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

Purpose This in vitro study aims to assess implant placement positioning accuracy using static or dynamic guidance by measuring 3D, 2D, and volumetric deviations of 20 implants compared to the reference implant position obtained following preoperative implant planning. Methods A case of single-tooth edentulism was used to simulate the situation of single implant placement. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan (Orthophos SL 3D, Dentsply Sirona, Mölndal, Sweden) of the model was taken, and implant planning was done on the Blue Sky Plan (BSP) software (Blue Sky Bio, New York City, NY), generating an implant reference position. The 20 printed models were randomly divided into two equal groups, with both receiving implant placement using either static guidance using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-printed templates (group 1) or dynamic guidance using the X-Guide
