1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Implant-supported complete dentures are a common procedure for patients with mandibular edentulism problems. This article documents the protocol for immediate functional loading of fixed transient mandibular prostheses with fully moldable attachments and distal extensions to prevent fractures. A 56-year-old female patient was referred to the Oral Rehabilitation and Implantology Service due to periodontal problems, difficulty in chewing capacity and aesthetic compromise. The patient was treated in a single surgical procedure with dental extractions, guided regularization of the alveolar process and guided placement of five interforaminal implants and placement of functional fixed mandibular prostheses with immediate loading with personalized UCLA'S, distal extensions and short arc occlusal scheme. At 3 months postoperatively, the definitive placement of fixed mandibular metal acrylic prostheses and conventional upper prostheses was performed. The functional and aesthetic integrity of the fixed mandibular prosthesis implant preserved with UCLA'S documents that implant placement in the interforaminal zone with an immediate loading protocol is a viable treatment option for prosthetic rehabilitation of the fully edentulous mandibular arch and that design with distal extensions in the posterior sector of the mandibular arch is an effective option to avoid fracture of the prostheses, presenting a survival of the five mandibular implants of 100% at 1 year postoperatively.
