CBCT Assessment of Posterior‑Mandibular Bone Density in Well‑Controlled Type 2 Diabetes: An Analytical Cross‑Sectional Study.
Article in Revista cientifica odontologica (Universidad Cientifica del Sur). 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
Objective: Implant success hinges on recipient‑site bone quality, which systemic diseases like diabetes may impair. Diabetes alters bone metabolism, lowering bone mineral density, promoting osteopenia, and elevating fracture risk, potentially jeopardizing osseointegration. Using cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study assessed how well‑controlled diabetes influences radiographic bone density in the posterior mandible. Materials and Methods: Cone‑beam CT scans from 48 adults scheduled for posterior mandibular implants were retrospectively analyzed. Cancellous bone density at the planned osteotomy sites was measured in Hounsfield units (HU) with Romexis software. Patients were divided into well‑controlled diabetics (HbA1c 6.1-8%, n = 24) and non‑diabetic controls (n = 24). Mean HU values were analysed with independent‑samples t‑tests for diabetes status, sex, and dichotomised age (56 or less vs more than 56 years). Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The cohort comprised 26 men (54.2 %) and 22 women (45.8 %) with a mean age of 56.3 years. Mean cancellous density did not differ between diabetic and control groups (p = 0.199) and was independent of sex (p = 0.207) and age (p = 0.511). Conclusion: With good glycemic control, diabetic patients show the same cancellous bone density in the posterior mandible as non‑diabetic patients, indicating that effective diabetes management prevents trabecular bone changes at planned implant sites.
