Hybrid Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-Acrylic Resin Prostheses and the All-on-4 Concept: A Full-Arch Implant-Supported Fixed Solution with 3 Years of Follow-Up.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07475507 (Effect of PEEK and Titanium Framework Reinforcement on Marginal Bone Loss Around Implants Supporting a Fixed All-on-four Prosthesis in Completely Edentulous Mandibles. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this three-year prospective study was to examine the outcome of a solution for full-arch rehabilitation through a fixed implant-supported hybrid prosthesis (polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-acrylic resin) used in conjunction with the All-on-4 concept.
methodsThirty-seven patients (29 females, 8 males), with an age range of 38 to 78 years (average: 59.8 years) were rehabilitated with 49 full-arch implant-supported prostheses (12 maxillary rehabilitations, 13 mandibular rehabilitations and 12 bimaxillary rehabilitations). The primary outcome measure was prosthetic survival. Secondary outcome measures were marginal bone loss, plaque and bleeding scores, veneer adhesion issues, biological complications, mechanical complications, and the patients' subjective evaluation.
resultsThere were two patients (maxillary rehabilitations) lost to follow-up, while one patient withdrew (maxillary rehabilitation). One patient with bimaxillary rehabilitation fractured the mandibular PEEK framework, rendering a 98% prosthetic survival rate. Implant survival was 100%. Average (standard deviation) marginal bone loss at 3-years was 0.40 mm (0.73 mm). Veneer adhesion was the only technical complication (
conclusionsBased on the results, the three-year outcome suggests the proposed rehabilitation solution as a legitimate treatment option, providing a potential shock-absorbing alternative that could benefit the implant biological outcome.
