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

objectiveTo assess if immediate-loaded zygomatic implant-supported fixed rehabilitation meets the expectations of and satisfies patients with atrophic edentulous maxilla.

methodsThis study included an analysis of data obtained from the dental records of 22 consecutive patients with atrophic edentulous maxillae who received immediate-loaded zygomatic implant-supported fixed rehabilitation between 2017 and 2020. Patients' expectations and satisfaction scores were recorded on a validated 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and generalized estimating equations.

resultsThe results showed a majority of patients had high expectations (VAS > 90) of the rehabilitation with regard to their general satisfaction (71%), aesthetics (71%), chewing (66%), speech (66%), and influence on social life (81%). At 6 months, a majority of the patients showed high general satisfaction (72%), and high satisfaction with aesthetics (77%), chewing (72%), speech (66%), and social life (72%) (VAS > 90). There was a statistically significant increase in the level of satisfaction with chewing from 2 weeks to 6 months after immediate loading (B = 0.309, SE = 0.138, 95% CI: 0.038, 0.580, p = 0.025). A statistically significant association was found between pre-treatment expectations and satisfaction with the rehabilitation's impact on speech, aesthetics, and social life. The satisfaction levels were not influenced by age and sex. All participants agreed that they would recommend this procedure to their peers.

conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that immediate-loaded zygomatic implant-supported fixed rehabilitation could meet the expectations and satisfy edentulous patients with atrophic maxilla.
