The effect of using denture adhesives on patient satisfaction with complete dentures; a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05496283 (The Effect of Using Denture Adhesives on Patient Satisfaction With Complete Dentures; A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundDenture adhesives can be useful in improving patients' satisfaction with complete dentures. However, comparison clinical trials are lacking. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with 3 types of denture adhesives.
methodsSixty-four completely edentulous patients seeking complete dentures for their first time were randomly divided into 3 groups. Each group received a set of complete dentures, which were adjusted at review appointments until participants reported no complaints. After 1 month of using the dentures, participants rated their overall satisfaction and their satisfaction regarding comfort, retention, stability, and efficiency of mastication and speech on a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). Participants also filled out the oral health impact profile for edentulous patients (OHIP-EDENT) questionnaire. Each group was then given 1 type of denture adhesive to use. Group C received Corega Ultra denture fixative cream (GlaxoSmithKline), Group O received Olivafix (Bonyf), and Group S received Sea. Bond adhesive strips (Sea.Bond). Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the differences in VAS scores before and after using the adhesive within each group and Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used to compare OHIP scores and total OHIP values before and after using the adhesive within each group (p = 0.05). Furthermore, Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the differences before and after using the adhesives in VAS and OHIP values between the 3 groups.
resultsSignificantly higher VAS values were detected in all groups and significantly lower values for many OHIP items in addition to total OHIP values were detected in all groups after using the adhesives (P < 0.05), except for the ease of cleaning for Group O and Group S (P > 0.05). No significant differences were found in VAS and OHIP values between the 3 groups (P > 0.05), except for the ease of cleaning which was significantly different between Group C and Group S (p = 0.005).
conclusionsUsing denture adhesives for completely edentulous patients resulted in higher patient satisfaction as indicated by higher VAS scores as well as improved quality of life as indicated by lower OHIP-EDENT scores after using the adhesives. These improvements were not dependent on the type of adhesive, except for ease of cleaning as adhesive strips were easier to clean than paste type adhesives.
