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

A technique for virtual determination of the abutments' angulation, orientation, and gingival height for unparalleled osseointegrated dental implants is described. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and an optical scan were performed for the arch to be restored. The wax-up prosthesis was designed using the Exocad software program, and implants were virtually placed over the osseointegrated implants appearing in the CBCT using an implant planning software program. The abutments were virtually placed, and their angulation and orientation were selected according to the virtually designed prosthesis. This technique offers a time- and cost-effective digital solution for engineering unparallel implants' prosthetic axes.
