Long-term clinical outcomes of immediate loading versus nonimmediate loading in single-implant restorations: An umbrella review.
Review in Dental research journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Immediate loading (IL) offers patients the advantage of reduced treatment time by immediate prosthesis placement or 48 h after implantation. Non-IL (NIL), on the other hand, involves a recovery period to allow osseointegration. Both methods are widely used, but their long-term effectiveness remains controversial. This study provides an umbrella review of long-term clinical outcomes of immediate and NIL protocols in single-implant restorations. This review combines and analyzes the findings of several systematic reviews and meta-analyses to evaluate implant survival rate, bone stability, peri-implant soft-tissue health, and complications associated with each approach. Materials and Methods: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in the past two decades were evaluated, and studies comparing immediate and NIL protocols with follow-up periods of at least 6 months were included in this comprehensive review. Using key terms such as "immediate loading" OR "nonimmediate loading" OR "delay loading" AND "single-implant restoration" * " OR "tooth implant*" OR "Dental Implant*," valid national and international databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched to achieve the objectives of the study. After screening the retrieved studies, information about the implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, peri-implant soft tissue health, and prosthetic complications were extracted. Results: Immediate and NIL protocols showed a high long-term implant survival rate, varying between 92% and 98%. IL showed a slightly higher rate of marginal bone loss than NIL, especially in the 1 Conclusion: Our research demonstrates that both immediate and NIL protocols offer high long-term implant survival rates (92% to 98%). While IL shows a slightly higher rate of marginal bone loss, particularly in the 1
