Failed Dental Implant: When Titanium Fractures.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. 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
Despite the widespread use of titanium implants in orthopedic and dental surgeries, concerns have recently emerged regarding potential deformations and fractures after osseointegration. In a recent clinical case, a titanium implant fractured after successful osseointegration. This fracture occurred despite the absence of any significant trauma or excessive external force applied to the area. The fracture was attributed to a combination of factors, including abutment design flaws, material fatigue, and biomechanical stress imposed on the implant during functional loading. This raises concerns about the long-term durability and reliability of titanium implants, particularly in high-stress areas such as the posterior region or weight-bearing bones. An image was made with scanning electron microscopy showing the fracture region near the prosthetic platform and highlighting the knowledge that despite their ductility, titanium implants can fracture.
