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

Marginal bone loss around dental implants remains a persistent clinical challenge affecting long-term implant success. This study compared crestal bone changes in 100 patients restored with platform-switched versus platform-matched abutments over a 12-month period. Standardized radiographs revealed significantly lower marginal bone loss in the platform-switched group at every follow-up interval. Clinical parameters remained stable in both groups, confirming that inflammation did not influence bone-level differences. Thus data shows clear superiority of platform switching in preserving peri-implant bone.
