The atrophic edentulous alveolus. A preliminary study on a new generation of subperiosteal implants.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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 aim of this cohort case series is to present a new subperiosteal implant device that uses CAD-CAM technologies together with 3D metal printing capabilities to produce direct bone-anchored dental prosthetic solutions for the management of atrophic edentulous alveolus and jaws. The clinical experience of 21 subperiosteal devices implanted over a 4-year period is presented. The results of this study showed 14 of the 21 cases were successful (66.7%), while 7 cases had complications including exposure of the metal frame (5 cases), mobility of the device (1 case) and 1 case failed for reasons unrelated to the device. Four of the 7 cases were successfully salvaged resulting in an overall success rate of 85.7% (18 /21 cases). This study supports the use of fully customized subperiosteal jaw implants as a simple and reliable alternative for dental rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous cases which would otherwise require bone grafts for conventional fixed dental implant solutions. With more research, the clinical potential for this device is significant as it not only avoids the need for complex and lengthy reconstructive jaw surgery but also allows for the placement of immediate prosthetic teeth at the time of implantation.
