Retrospective digital study of mandibular flexure in patients with long-span fixed restorations supported by natural teeth.
Article in BMC research notes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
purposeThis retrospective study aims to evaluate the mandibular flexure on a long-span rigid fixed prosthesis supported by natural teeth. MATERIALS AND
methodsNine patients (five males and four females) were included in this study who had long-span rigid mandibular fixed prostheses for long-term (10-15 years) that have led to radiographic changes around the supporting teeth. The mandibular flexure was measured digitally after adhering reference markers to the prostheses. Intraoral scans were obtained at the minimum and maximum mouth openings before and after splitting the preexisting prostheses. The distances between the markers were measured, and mandibular flexure was calculated.
resultsThis study showed a significant deviation (narrowing) of the mandible before and after splitting the rigid fixed prostheses (P value < 0.05).
conclusionDigital analysis of the data collected from the patients in this retrospective study indicated that deviations occur during mandibular flexure. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Splitting the full arch prosthesis could prevent the negative consequences of mandibular flexure on restorations. Trial registration The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov with registration number NCT05617274 (15/11/2022).
