Transitioning From Conventional Dentures to Implant-Retained Overdentures in the Edentulous Maxilla: A Systematic Review on Patient-Reported and Clinician-Reported Outcomes.

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 aims to examine commonly used patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and outcome measures (PROMs) alongside clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) in individuals with an edentulous maxilla initially rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures (CDs) and later transitioned to implant-retained overdentures (IODs). MATERIAL AND
methodsAn electronic search of three databases and a manual search were conducted for relevant articles between January 2014 and June 2024. Eligible studies included patients with an edentulous maxilla or those scheduled for extraction of all maxillary teeth, treated with CDs and subsequently transitioned to IODs, and reported PROs and ClinROs.
resultsNine articles, including five randomized controlled trials and four prospective cohort studies, were selected for descriptive analyses. Five studies reported ClinROs, focusing on implant survival rates, peri-implant marginal bone loss, and the presence of peri-implant diseases such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. PROs varied across studies, with assessments including oral health-related quality of life, patient satisfaction, and specific PROs such as comfort, stability, ability to chew, speech, and esthetics. Overall, IODs significantly improved patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life compared to CDs.
conclusionFor patients initially rehabilitated with conventional CDs and later transitioned to IODs, oral health-related quality of life is the most frequently reported PRO, followed by patient satisfaction. Regarding ClinROs, the implant survival rate is the most commonly investigated outcome, with peri-implant marginal bone loss, denture survival rate, and prosthetic complications being the next most frequently reported ClinROs. Additionally, implant complications and the presence of peri-implant diseases are commonly documented.
