Residual Periodontal Pockets at Implant Placement as Risk Indicator for Peri-Implantitis: A Systematic Review.

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
introThe present systematic review aimed to assess whether the presence of residual periodontal pockets (PPD) after active periodontal therapy increases the risk of developing peri-implantitis in patients with treated periodontitis who undergo implant therapy.
methodsAn electronic search was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Studies including patients receiving at least one dental implant, in whom residual PPD or furcation involvement were recorded, were selected. The primary outcome was the incidence of peri-implantitis. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. No meta-analysis could be performed due to heterogeneity across studies.
resultsFrom 3870 retrieved records, 4 cohort studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, with follow-up ranging from 1 to 23 years. All included studies evaluated residual PPD as the exposure of interest, whereas no study specifically assessed furcation involvement. Despite substantial heterogeneity in exposure definitions and peri-implantitis case definitions, all studies consistently suggested that residual PPD persisting after active periodontal therapy was associated with increased peri-implantitis occurrence. In particular, deeper PPD (≥ 5 or ≥ 6 mm) and higher proportions of residual diseased sites were associated with greater peri-implantitis risk. One study additionally reported that inflammatory periodontal conditions affecting adjacent teeth increased peri-implantitis risk. Most studies were judged to be at moderate risk of bias.
conclusionResidual PPD persisting after active periodontal therapy can increase the risk of peri-implantitis in treated periodontitis patients receiving dental implants. Prospective studies adopting standardized case definitions of peri-implantitis are needed to further clarify the influence of residual PPDs and furcation involvement on implant outcomes.
