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

Dental implants are widely used to replace missing teeth, but peri-implantitis remains a major biological complication associated with bacterial biofilm formation on implant surfaces. The increasing incidence of peri-implant infections underscores the need for alternative antimicrobial strategies that effectively decontaminate complex titanium implant surfaces. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of low-temperature microwave argon plasma on bacteria in an experimental model simulating peri-implant conditions and compared the responses of microorganisms with different biological characteristics.
