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

Evidence directly comparing peri-implant soft tissue health around single-piece implants and natural abutment teeth in conventional fixed bridges remains limited. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue parameters around single-piece implants versus abutment teeth supporting fixed partial dentures. Standardized clinical and radiographic protocols were used to measure gingival index, probing depth, bleeding on probing and marginal bone levels over 12 months. Single-piece implants demonstrated lower probing depths, reduced bleeding scores and less marginal bone loss compared with abutment teeth. Both groups maintained clinically acceptable tissue stability throughout follow-up. Thus, we show that single-piece implants achieve favourable peri-implant soft tissue health comparable or superior to conventional bridge abutments.
