Tooth-Supported Overdenture: Rediscovering What We Thought We Outgrew.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Edentulism results in impairment, functional limitations, and ultimately psychological and social disabilities. It is a significant factor in residual ridge resorption, leading to a decreased alveolar bone height and a reduced denture-bearing area. A tooth-supported overdenture (TSOD) represents one cost-effective treatment modality for patients requiring removable dentures and helps preserve tooth structure and proprioception, maintain alveolar bone to delay complete tooth loss, provide extra support and stability, and improve chewing efficiency. This case report describes the successful use of a natural TSOD with short metal copings, utilizing the remaining upper root canal-treated teeth as abutments. The lower arch featured a fixed dental prosthesis. Following coping cementation, the overdenture was fabricated using conventional methods, resulting in satisfactory retention, stability, and support. The case is an addendum to the existing literature and demonstrates that it can be performed in a routine setup with minimal additional armamentarium. This also provided the patient with great satisfaction by preventing the loss of all her teeth.
