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

purposeTo evaluate the three-dimensional accuracy of template-guided zygomatic implant placement using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to characterize linear, angular, and directional discrepancies between planned and actual implant positions.

methodsThis retrospective case series included 14 patients rehabilitated with 21 zygomatic implants using static, bone-supported, stereolithographic surgical guides. Preoperative virtual plans (.stl files) were compared with postoperative CBCT scans through voxel-based registration. The positions of planned (P
