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

Introduction: Prosthetic rehabilitation with implants in the atrophic edentulous maxilla often requires a bone augmentation procedure to enable implant placement and integration. However, rigid anchorage can also be achieved using long zygomatic implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxillary ridges with zygomatic implants using the zygomatic success code (ZSC) and derive the success grade for the procedure based on the observed results. Materials and Methods: A total of eight implants were placed in an extrasinus technique based on the zygomatic anatomy-guided approach. The following were evaluated postoperatively - primary stability, maxillary sinus pathology, soft-tissue healing and prosthetic offset. The ZSC score was calculated, and success grading was given with ZSC based on Aparacio Results: One implant had Grade 1 mobility and partial maxillary sinus opacification, 25% ( Discussion: The zygomatic implants, as a graft less and promising solution to the rehabilitation of atrophied maxillary arches, have excellent surgical outcomes with varied advantages.
