Zygomatic Implants Placed in Immediate Function through Extra-Maxillary Surgical Technique and 45 to 60 Degrees Angulated Abutments for Full-Arch Rehabilitation of Extremely Atrophic Maxillae: Short-Term Outcome of a Retrospective Cohort.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The use of new devices for the rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxillae needs validation. We aimed to report the short-term outcome of severely atrophic jaws rehabilitated with zygomatic implants with no implant head angulation placed extramaxillary in conjunction with standard implants. Forty-four patients were consecutively included with 77 zygomatic implants (31 abutments of 45 degrees and 46 abutments of 60 degrees) and 115 standard implants. Outcome measures were prosthetic survival, implant/abutment success, complications, modified plaque index (mPLI), modified bleeding index (mBI), mucosal seal efficacy evaluation (MSEE) >4 mm, and Zygomatic implants classification level (ZICL). Two patients (4.5%) were lost to follow-up. No prosthesis was lost; one patient lost one zygomatic implant; two angulated abutments of 60 degrees needed to be replaced in one patient due to an aesthetic complaint; rendering a cumulative success rate at 2-years of 95.3% and 95.9% using patient and implant/abutment as unit of analysis, respectively. Mechanical and biological complications occurred in 13 and six patients, respectively; all resolved. The median mPLI and mBI was 1; MSEE > 4 mm occurred in 17% and 21% of patients at 1- and 2-years, respectively; ZICL1 was registered in 80% of patients. The current protocol enabled good short-term outcomes.
