Implant-Supported Overdentures: Current Status and Preclinical Testing of a Novel Attachment System.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Numerous attachment systems exist for implant-supported overdentures, with each having specific limitations in terms of retention, cost, wear, maintenance and cleanability. A retrospective analysis of patients restored with implant-supported overdentures using bars, telescopic crowns and Locator-type attachments was performed and the patients were interviewed. An in vitro strain gauge study compared telescopic crowns, Locator-type attachments and a novel flexible attachment system employing a shape memory alloy (NiTi) with respect to peri-implant strain development during insertion, loading and removal of an overdenture. A significantly lower number of attachment-related complications was observed in bars as compared to telescopic crowns (
