Crestal bone loss and soft tissue changes in epicrestal versus subcrestal implants: An
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
The long-term success of dental implants depends on preservation of crestal bone and peri-implant soft tissue, yet the optimal depth of implant placement remains controversial. Therefore, it is of interest to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of epicrestal and subcrestal implant placement at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Groups showed comparable baseline conditions with no significant intergroup differences (p > 0.05), while subcrestal implants showed consistently lower marginal bone loss and probing depths over time. Although intragroup comparisons revealed significant bone loss progression (p < 0.001), all outcomes remained within acceptable clinical success criteria. Thus, we report that subcrestal implant placement offer a biological advantage in peri-implant tissue preservation despite statistically comparable outcomes.
