Implant-Supported Cantilever Fixed Partial Dentures in the Posterior Region: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Survival Outcomes.

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
Implant-supported partial dentures with cantilever extensions (ISPDCs) present significant biomechanical challenges when rehabilitating partially edentulous patients, especially in the posterior region, where higher complication rates are often reported. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the complications, survival rates, and marginal bone loss associated with ISPDCs in posterior areas. The review protocol was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42024606201) and was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-P guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed across 10 databases for studies published up until 28 January 2025. Out of an initial 2142 records, 11 clinical studies met the inclusion criteria. The analysis showed a low failure rate for both prostheses and implants, at 1% (95% confidence interval: 0-3%) across the studies evaluated. However, noteworthy complications arose from biological factors as well as technical issues. Complications related to the prosthesis and abutment occurred in 14% of cases (95% CI: 5-26%), while loss of retention was noted in 13% of cases (95% CI: 7-21%). These technical issues were particularly more frequent in extensions greater than 7 mm. A significant difference was observed in marginal bone loss when comparing the final and initial measurements to the cantilever (
