Implant-supported overdentures: part 1.
Article in British dental journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The ability to provide high-quality complete dentures is a key skill for the GDP. The increasing prevalence and utilisation of implant-supported overdentures has opened the possibility of a wide variety of treatment options to support patient care, while also creating the need for primary care practitioners to have a greater awareness of commonly used prosthetic attachments.A thorough understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of implant-supported overdentures is essential to ensuring appropriate treatment planning, consent and maintenance. This two-part series explores various aspects of implant-supported overdentures including assessment of the patient, treatment planning, different attachment systems and maintenance requirements.Part one will explore availability of implants in the NHS, the commonly available implant attachment systems, including their relative advantages and disadvantages.
