Clinical and Radiographic Changes at Implants Supporting Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses With Cantilever Extensions. A Retrospective Study After at Least 10 Years of Loading.

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
aimTo report clinical and radiographic changes at implants supporting Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses with Cantilever extensions (FPDPC's) after a loading time exceeding 10 years. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with FPDPC's were reevaluated after a loading time of 10-21 years. A clinical and radiographic examination was conducted to assess Marginal bone level change (MBLc), biological, and prosthetic parameters. Pocket depth (PD), Attachment Level (CAL), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), and Presence of Plaque (PL) were also recorded.
resultsNineteen patients with 21 FPDPC's supported by 47 implants were re-evaluated after a mean loading time of 13.3 ± 2.9 years (range: 10-21 years). Implant survival rate was 100% and implant success rate was 91.5%, accounting for 4 implants (8.5%) that presented with peri-implantitis. Twelve implants (25.5%) exhibited peri-implant mucositis. Three of the FPDPC's had to be replaced due to fracture of the cantilever teeth and one other FPDPC had abutment screw fracture which was corrected, leading to prosthetic survival and success rates of 86% and 81%, respectively. Mean MBLc from implant placement to time of re-evaluation was 0.99 ± 1.11 mm (95% CI: 0.67, 1.31, p-value < 0.001). Mean PD at re-evaluation was 3.9 ± 1.6 mm, mean CAL was 1.2 ± 1.6 mm. Percentages of BOP and PL were 14.89% ± 23.11% and 26.6% ± 30.625 respectively.
conclusionFixed partial dental prostheses with cantilever extensions are a reliable option if extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts are to be avoided, with 10-year results showing 100% implant survival, 90% implant success, and 86% and 81% prosthetic survival and success rates, respectively.
