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

objectivesGiven the growing use of resonance frequency analysis in clinical implantology and the inconsistent evidence regarding its prognostic value, this systematic review aimed to clarify the association between implant stability quotient (ISQ) with insertion torque (IT), marginal bone loss (MBL), and implant survival/success rate. MATERIAL AND

methodsFollowing PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science to answer the PIO question: "In systemically healthy patients undergoing implant placement, are ISQ values associated with intraoperative and postoperative surrogate parameters (IT and MBL) and clinical outcomes such as implant survival and success?" Risk of bias was assessed using design-specific methodological tools.

resultsForty-eight studies were included, and 20 were eligible for quantitative analysis of ISQ-IT correlation. A moderate and statistically significant association was observed (pooled r = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.32-0.55, p < 0.001), with substantial heterogeneity (I

conclusionsISQ shows a moderate correlation with IT, supporting its role as a complementary indicator of primary implant stability. However, high heterogeneity and limited certainty of evidence restrict its clinical interpretability. Current evidence does not support baseline ISQ values as independent predictors of MBL or implant survival.
