Mandibular Overdentures on Four Immediately Loaded Mini-Implants Versus Two-Delayed Loaded Regular Implants: 1-Year, Two-Center RCT on Patient-Reported Outcomes.
Trial report in Clinical oral implants research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03837158 (Is the Stabilization of a Mandibular Overdenture Employing Four Novel One-piece Immediately Loaded TiZr Implants With Miniaturized Stud-type Attachments a Feasible Alternative to Two Two-piece Early Loaded Tissue-level Implants With Regular Stud-type Attachments?), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveThis one-year randomized clinical trial compared the effects of mandibular implant-overdentures (IODs) on two two-piece regular-neck tissue-level implants (Group A) or on four mini-implants (Group B) with different loading protocols in edentulous patients concerning dental Patient-Reported Outcomes (dPROs). MATERIAL AND
methodsSeventy-two participants were randomly assigned to Group A (n = 35) for treatment with two standard implants (3.3 mm diameter, conventional loading) with a stud-type abutment, or to Group B (n = 37) for treatment with four mini-implants (2.4 mm diameter, immediate loading) with a mini-stud-type abutment. Primary outcomes were measured using the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI), the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G14), and the Denture Satisfaction Index (DSI), at visit #1-baseline (pre-treatment), visit #2-implant placement (immediate loading, Group B), visit #3-8-10-week follow-up (conventional loading, Group A; control visit, Group B), and visit #4-1-year post-placement. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, non-parametric comparison tests, effect-size measures, and multiple regression.
resultsSixty-two participants completed the 1-year follow-up (Group A = 32; Group B = 30). Significantly improved dPROs were observed for both treatments after 1 year, compared with baseline (p < 0.01), with similar effects in the two Groups. In the mini-implant group, higher improvement in satisfaction was observed after implant placement and immediate loading, compared to Group A (p < 0.001).
conclusionSignificant improvements in satisfaction and Oral Health Related Quality of Life were observed after 1 year, and benefits were observed earlier for mini-implants using immediate loading. Overall, findings support the use of four immediately loaded mini-implants in the mandible as a suitable treatment alternative for edentulous patients.
