1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the maxillary arch for an All-on-X approach can be challenging due to sinus enlargement, necessitating the use of pterygoid implants to avoid the creation of a cantilever on the prosthesis. Posterior prosthesis cantilevers may lead to problems such as screw loosening or fracture, as well as bone loss on the anterior implants due to the posterior loads on the cantilever. When maxillary molars are present and would be extracted as part of the All-on-X approach, utilizing the palatal extraction socket for immediate implant placement allows for the avoidance of sinus augmentation and potential complications associated with the surgical placement and restoration of pterygoid implants, while also eliminating the prosthetic cantilever. This report of two cases examines the issues related to prosthetic cantilevers and describes the surgical process of immediate implant placement using maxillary molar palatal root extraction sockets.
