Accuracy of the surgical template used in the placement of implants and orthodontic miniscrews.
Synthesis in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundFor the best clinical results, accuracy is essential in orthodontics and oral surgery. Surgical guides, also known as templates, are now indispensable instruments for improving precision in operations like orthodontic treatments and dental implant installation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, and 3D printing are just a few of the cutting-edge imaging and manufacturing technologies used in these guides to produce patient-specific devices that complement predetermined treatment plans. Their application improves treatment predictability and lowers errors while minimizing hazards like harm to anatomical structures or improper placement. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe technique was directed by the PRISMA protocol, which involved searching PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for research articles published from 2014 to 2024. English-language human studies evaluating the accuracy of surgical guides were given priority in the inclusion criteria.
resultsResults underscore the transformative role of surgical guides in reducing complications, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, and optimizing outcomes. However, challenges remain, including dependence on imaging quality, guide stability, and cost.
conclusionsNotwithstanding its drawbacks, surgical guides are a major development in dentistry that helps close the gap between clinical execution and virtual planning while opening the door to safer, more predictable, and patient-centered care.
