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
objectivesWettability of dental implants surface might be an additional key variable in the regeneration process and osseointegration. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a new nanoscale roughness, combined with super-hydrophilic surface on bone volume change after trans-crestal sinus floor lift procedure for implant positioning. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was reported according to SPIRIT guidelines. A 12-month, single-center, parallel group clinical trial was conducted to compare changes in bone regeneration and crestal bone level as shown on x-ray, following trans-crestal sinus floor lift using a collagenated hydroxyapatite graft and insertion of single dental implants with two different surfaces: moderately rough surface implants (Control Group - CG) and nanoscale super-hydrophilic surface implants (Test Group - TG). Radiographic bone volume and maximum height of regenerated bone as well as peri-implant crestal bone level were evaluated immediately following implant insertion and after 12 months. A multivariate regression model was built to address the impact of surface characteristics and clinical variables on the outcome.
resultsThe study was completed by 25 participants (12 in the TG and 13 in the CG). CG achieved a volume change of 94.54mm DISCUSSION: Despite the trend of a higher bone volume observed in the hydrophilic surface group, taking into consideration all the variables, this study did not reveal any significant differences in terms of bone regeneration between groups.
conclusionWithin the limitations of this study, implants with a nanoscale super-hydrophilic surface did not result in significantly greater bone regeneration than conventional moderately rough implants following transcrestal sinus floor elevation, although a trend toward increased bone volume was observed. Further clinical studies are required to clarify the potential regenerative advantages of hydrophilic implant surfaces.
