Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors as a Potential Risk for Implant Failure: A Clinical Report.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Knowledge of the risk factors for implant osseointegration is essential for clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment success. This clinical report presents a rare case of implant failure in a patient who received intravitreal injections of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Following CARE guidelines, the report presents a case rehabilitated with a mandibular 2-implant overdenture using the immediate-loading protocol and standard procedures. The implants failed within six weeks of immediate loading although primary stability (≥50 Ncm) was achieved during surgery and clinical follow-ups did not show any deviance from standard implant care or patient-related complications. Further investigation suggested that the intake of a VEGF inhibitor may be the cause of failure. This clinical report highlights the importance of systemic risk factors in implant success and their consideration during planning for implant-assisted treatment.
