Custom subperiosteal implants used to rehabilitate the atrophic edentulous maxilla following multiple failures of both conventional as well as zygomatic implants: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The treatment of cleft lip and cleft palate patients typically involves numerous surgeries, often including the replacement of missing teeth and endosseous dental implants are often utilized in this context. Endosseous dental implants require adequate bone volume for placement, and in this patient cohort this often requires an initial alveolar bone graft. Technological advancements can now harness computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) to produce modern custom subperiosteal implants that utilize the available bone surface, thus providing an alternative treatment for patients unable to have conventional dental implants. We report the case of a 72-year-old male cleft palate patient who failed a combination of both regular endosseous and zygomatic implants and was left with both hard and soft tissue defects, such that he was not a candidate for further conventional implant placement. Using CAD-CAM technology, custom subperiosteal implants were created to successfully treat his atrophic and severely deformed edentulous maxilla.
