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

Objective: To investigate the changes in keratinized mucosa width (KMW) at posterior implant sites through implant treatment procedures. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we measured the buccal KMW at three time points: immediately before implant placement (T0), before definitive prosthesis delivery (T1), and within 1 month after prosthesis delivery (T2). We analyzed changes in the KMW at the implant sites between these time points, using both submerged and non-submerged techniques. Results: A total of 72 patients and 98 implants were included. The KMW changed significantly from T0 to T1 (1.33 mm, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.072, 1.561], Conclusion: The KMW at posterior implant sites decreased significantly through implant treatment procedures, which were related to the height of abutment, but not to implant technique, history of ARP, or the diameter of abutment.
