Quality of life assessment of patients rehabilitated with zygomatic implants in central India: a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Archives of craniofacial surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of patients rehabilitated with maxillary fixed prostheses supported by zygomatic implants, using the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire (LORQ-v3) and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP).
methodsFifty-two patients with maxillary bone defects who were rehabilitated with fixed prostheses supported by zygomatic implants were included in this questionnaire-based study. Patients were asked to evaluate their dental problems both before prosthesis fabrication and at 1 year post-rehabilitation, using LORQ-v3 and OHIP-14. Responses were assessed on a Likert scale. Patient perceptions of quality of life were measured in relation to general satisfaction, comfort and stability, speech, esthetics, self-esteem, and functionality.
resultsOverall improvement in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was observed among all participants. In LORQ-v3, item-specific improvement ranged from 8% pretreatment to 43% posttreatment. In OHIP, scores improved from 21% to 69% between baseline and 1 year.
conclusionProsthetic rehabilitation with zygomatic implants for maxillary defects significantly improved patients' OHRQoL.
