Patient Centricity-An Empirical Research on Titanium Dental Implants and Their Adverse Effects on Health Condition.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTitanium dental implants are considered to be the most modern and effective solution for replacing lost teeth. These medical devices not only restore the chewing and aesthetic functionality of the smile but also provide a stable support for crowns, bridges or dentures. The aim of this study was to identify the perceptions of patients about titanium dental implants and their effects on the human body.
methodsA structural equation model (SEM) was conducted to study how a series of independent variables have the ability to influence the perception and intention of the patients regarding these medical devices. A data analysis was performed using WarpPLS 8.0 software. This research was conducted on a sample of 162 respondents.
resultsThe results illustrated that patients' perception of titanium dental implants is explained by 71% of the independent variables analysed, and their intention to have a new implant in the next period is explained by 61%. The proposed econometric model was validated, with seven hypotheses accepted out of nine.
conclusionsAlthough titanium has long been used in implant dentistry, in recent years, experts have identified a number of adverse effects that can arise from its use. This study has added value both at the practical and theoretical level. Perception is influenced by respondents' perceived advantages, by the problems perceived by the respondents regarding titanium dental implants, by the degree of awareness of the risks of titanium dental implants, and by the adverse effects experienced by respondents regarding titanium dental implants.
