Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Peri-implant diseases pose significant clinical challenges in implant dentistry, with inadequate plaque control identified as a primary risk factor, yet the effects of bristle geometry on peri-implant plaque removal remain poorly understood. Therefore, it is of interest to compare tapered and standard flat-cut bristle toothbrushes under manual and powered brushing conditions on 40 implant-abutment models with simulated soft tissue. Plaque removal, subgingival bristle penetration, surface cleaning and titanium surface integrity were assessed via digital planimetry, micro-CT, SEM and profilometry. Tapered bristles demonstrated superior plaque removal in sulcular/interproximal areas and deeper subgingival penetration with minimal surface roughness versus standard bristles. Thus, tapered-bristle toothbrushes are the optimal choice for peri-implant plaque control, thereby reducing disease risk while preserving abutment integrity.
