The Impact of Implant Angulation on the Stress Distribution and Survival Rate of Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) have become a reliable method for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients, offering improved contour, function, esthetics, and overall oral health. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of implant angulation on the stress distribution and survival rate of implant-supported FDPs using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing existing patient records and radiographic data. The study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for transparent and comprehensive reporting. Sample size calculation was based on a reference study, considering a standard deviation of 2.5 for stress distribution measurements and a minimum detectable effect size of 1.0. Data collection included demographic and clinical characteristics, implant selection and placement details, prosthetic design and fabrication, as well as stress distribution analysis using FEA. Results The study included a total of 307 participants who met the inclusion criteria. Demographic variables demonstrated a balanced gender distribution (p = 0.172), with 51.5% males and 48.5% females. Smoking status (p < 0.001) and income level (p = 0.026) were significantly associated with the research outcomes. Implant characteristics analysis revealed three main types: NobelReplace Select (53.6%), Straumann Bone Level (31.9%), and BioHorizons Tapered Internal (14.5%). Implant type (p < 0.001), length (p = 0.003), diameter (p = 0.019), and manufacturer (p < 0.001) were all found to have statistically significant associations with the research outcomes. Conclusion The findings of this retrospective study highlight the importance of implant angulation on the stress distribution and survival rate of implant-supported FDPs. The evaluation of stress distribution patterns and the analysis of implant characteristics provide valuable insights for optimizing implant design and placement strategies.
