Comparative Evaluation of Mandibular Ridge Resorption in Post-menopausal Denture and Non-Denture-Wearing Females and Its Relation to Body Mass Index: An In-Vivo Study.
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
Background Mandibular ridge resorption is a common problem in edentulous individuals, particularly in post-menopausal women. Body mass index (BMI) has been suggested as a potential factor influencing ridge resorption, but the relationship between the two remains unclear. Methods A study was conducted to evaluate mandibular ridge resorption in post-menopausal denture-wearing females and its relation to body mass index. A sample of 60 completely edentulous post-menopausal women was divided into two groups based on denture-wearing status and BMI. A radiographic evaluation of mandibular ridge resorption was conducted, and statistical analysis was performed using correlation and regression analysis. Results The study found a statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and mandibular ridge resorption in denture-wearing subjects, with a p-value of 0.039. A slight negative correlation was observed in non-denture wearers, with a p-value of 0.122. Overall, a significant relationship was found between BMI and mandibular ridge resorption, with a p-value of 0.007. Conclusion The study highlights the importance of considering BMI as a factor in mandibular ridge resorption in post-menopausal denture-wearing females. The findings suggest that prosthodontists should aim to preserve the residual ridge by using techniques such as broad area coverage, reduced denture teeth, and optimal occlusal tooth design.
