Effectiveness, Esthetics, and Success Rate of Dental Implants in Bone-Grafted Regions of Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review 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, 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
Congenital clefts impair function and appearance, thus impacting a patient's social and mental health. A multidisciplinary team that can offer comprehensive treatment from infancy through maturity and beyond can successfully address these abnormalities. Dental rehabilitation is very important for these patients; these abnormalities should be identified and must be treated accordingly. Hence it is of utmost importance to know the success rate and changes in quality of life from patient satisfaction in order to plan future treatment goals when coming across such cases. The aim of this article is to determine success rate, esthetics, and patient satisfaction in implant-based oral rehabilitation in bone-grafted regions of cleft patients. Registration was carried out in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Review) with registration number CRD42022329861 on May 7, 2022. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms such as cleft lip, cleft palate, survival rate, and dental implants were used to handpick articles via an electronic database. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to compile all the data gathered from an electronic database. According to the collected data, 93.5% of the survival rate with dental implants was noted irrespective of the type of bone grafts used. Also, improvement in quality of life was achieved in these patients. Effectiveness, esthetics, and success rate are very well achievable with implants in cleft patients. Although the aesthetics are not equivalent to that of dental implants in normal patients, patient satisfaction is still satisfactory in patients with dental implants in bone-grafted regions of cleft lip and palate.
