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

The persistent presence of a micro-gap at the implant-abutment interface continues to pose biological and mechanical challenges, yet the influence of different connection designs remains insufficiently understood. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate 100 implant abutment assemblies external hex, internal hex and internal conical using SEM before and after cyclic loading. External hex connections showed the largest micro-gaps, internal hex showed moderate values and internal conical exhibited the smallest and most stable interface. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences among the designs, with conical connections demonstrating superior resistance to micro-gap enlargement under functional loading. Thus, we show new comparative evidence showing that internal conical connections provide the most stable interface, thereby advancing knowledge on optimal implant-abutment design for improved clinical outcomes.
