Mandibular Unilateral Paresthesia Following Implant Placement and Clinical Management: Clinical Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dental implantology has been considered the mainstay in the rehabilitation of partial or complete edentulism. Nevertheless, complications and failures are occasionally encountered, and the most significant is the neurosensory disturbance. It not only causes persistent discomfort to the patient but frequently degrades the patient's oral health-related quality of life, even leading to a negative psychological impact. This paper presents a case report of a 65-year-old male patient who underwent the replacement of his missing tooth in the right mandibular region (46) with an implant-supported prosthesis two years ago. Since then, he has been experiencing numbness in the right side of the lip and occasional drooling of saliva from the right corner of the mouth. Clinical examination revealed the presence of a prosthetic crown supported by an implant in relation to 46 with inflamed and enlarged gingiva in the region with paresthesia of the right lower lip region. Radiological examination with orthopantomogram (OPG) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed that the implant apex rested on the inferior alveolar nerve canal. Careful surgical retrieval of the well-osseointegrated implant was performed under local anesthesia in about seven days. The patient gradually experienced neurosensory improvement, and the paraesthesia was completely resolved in a six-week period. After complete recovery, as evaluated with an objective and subjective assessment, the edentulous site was successfully restored with a provisional fixed partial denture.
