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

objectiveThe present study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic performance of full-length implantoplasty (FLIP) versus partial-length implantoplasty (PLIP) for the supracrestal component as part of combined surgical therapy for peri-implantitis with a ≥ 3 mm depth at the intrabony component. MATERIALS AND

methodsA single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, two-arm comparative study was conducted to evaluate the extent of implantoplasty-limited to the supracrestal component (PLIP) or extending to both supracrestal and intrabony components (FLIP)-in the combined surgical management of peri-implantitis. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed 1 year after surgery. Disease resolution was defined using a composite of clinical and radiographic criteria, although sample size was calculated for pocket depth reduction. Generalized estimating equations were applied to calculate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios.

resultsA total of 33 patients (N

conclusionCombined surgical therapy for peri-implantitis, including implantoplasty and regeneration of the intrabony component, is effective in arresting disease progression and restoring peri-implant health. Extending implantoplasty to the contained intrabony compartment appears to provide additional clinical and radiographic benefits. However, this advantage comes at the expense of increased mucosal recession, highlighting the need for careful case selection and patient counseling.
