Assessment of long-term success rates between implant-supported overdentures and conventional complete dentures: A comparative clinical study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Total edentulism significantly impairs masticatory, nutritional and psychosocial health worldwide, necessitating superior prosthetic rehabilitation solutions beyond conventional complete dentures. Hence, this prospective comparative study evaluated 156 completely edentulous patients over 5 years: implant-supported mandibular overdentures with two locator attachments (n=78) versus conventional complete dentures (n=78). Implant overdentures demonstrated superior 5-year success rates (94.9% vs 76.9%, p<0.001) with acceptable marginal bone loss (1.23±0.42 mm) and consistently higher patient satisfaction scores. Oral health-related quality of life metrics remained significantly improved across all assessment periods in the implant-supported group compared to conventional dentures. Thus, we show prosthodontic standards by establishing implant-supported mandibular overdentures as the minimum treatment protocol for optimal edentulous patient outcomes.
