Comparative Evaluation of Masticatory Bite Force of Implant-Supported Overdenture With Different Attachments: An In Vivo Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
statement of problemResearch assessing the bite force generated by implant-supported overdentures using various attachments. PURPOSE: This in vivo study aimed to examine the masticatory bite force of various attachments utilized in implant-supported overdentures. MATERIALS AND
methodsEight completely edentulous patients with two mandibular implants were selected for the creation of a mandibular implant-supported overdenture. The processes for denture fabrication were executed traditionally to produce one maxillary denture and two mandibular dentures. The mandibular dentures were subsequently transformed into overdentures using ball and flat attachments, respectively, through the pickup method. Masticatory bite force was measured with both attachments on the left and right sides at the time of denture insertion, as well as after one month of wearing the dentures, using a bite force measuring device.
resultData were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Normality distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, which showed a normal distribution. Consequently, a parametric test of significance was used. Descriptive statistics were carried out, and data were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Comparisons between groups were conducted using the independent t-test, while intra-group comparisons were conducted using the paired t-test. A p-value of less than 0.5 was deemed statistically significant.
conclusionThe study concluded that masticatory bite force was higher with flat attachments than with ball attachments. Additionally, the force increased after one month of insertion.
