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 poor quality of life associated with the loss of teeth can be improved by the placing of dental implants. However, successful implantation relies on integration with soft tissues or peri-implant inflammatory disease that can lead to the loss of the implant. Pharmacological agents, such as antibiotics and antiseptics, can be used as adjunct therapies to facilitate osseointegration; however, they can have a detrimental effect on cells, and resistance is an issue. Alternative treatments are needed. Hence, this study aimed to examine the safety profile of bergenin (at 2.5 μM and 5 μM), a traditional medicine, towards human gingival fibroblasts cultured on acid-etched zirconia implant surfaces. Cellular responses were analysed using SEM, resazurin assay, and scratch wound healing assay. Qualitative assessment was conducted for morphology (day 1) and attachment (early and delayed), and quantitative evaluation for proliferation (day 1, 3, 5 and 7), and migration (0 h, 6 h and 24 h). The concentrations of bergenin at 2.5 μM and 5 μM did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect with regard to any of the cellular responses (
