1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study was designed to determine the efficacy of a traditional complete denture and a biofunctional prosthetic system of a complete denture, and risk factors affecting their efficacy.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 95 patients with total dentition loss admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to June 2022. Among them, 45 patients who received traditional dentures were assigned to a control group, and the other 50 who received a biofunctional prosthetic system with complete dentures were assigned to an observation group. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the masticatory function indexes and comfort scores of the two groups were also compared. Logistics regression analysis was conducted to analyze the risk factors affecting the efficacy of patients.

resultsThe observation group showed a higher total effective rate than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group showed notably higher masticatory efficiency and absorbance of masticatory substances than the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the denture tenderness point in the observation group was notably lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group had notably higher scores in General Comfort Questionnaire than the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, according to Logistics regression analysis, older age, dentition loss caused by tooth defect, smoking history and traditional denture restoration were independent risk factors for ineffective treatment.

conclusionThe biofunctional prosthetic system of complete dentures can better improve the masticatory function and enhance the comfort of patients with total dentition loss, and with good efficacy.
