Immediate Implant Placement and Loading in the Esthetic Zone Using a Four-Dimensional Virtual Patient Protocol: A Technical Report.
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
Rehabilitation of the anterior region requires careful prosthetic planning in cases of immediate implant placement and loading due to the complexity of prosthetically driven restoration in the esthetic zone. The management of interferences during mandibular excursive movements remains critical. A technique is presented for obtaining four-dimensional (4D) virtual patient data, where the 4D component refers to the integration of real-time mandibular movements using an optical jaw motion tracking system. Cone beam computed tomography records, intraoral and face scanning and dynamic jaw motion tracking data, including border movements, which are obtained from JMA Optic System, are superimposed using Exocad software, while data alignment is achieved using the remaining dentition as reference structures. This report describes a step-by-step method to transfer the digital treatment planning simulation into the patient's mouth using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-fabricated surgical guide for implant placement and a digitally designed provisional restoration to facilitate clinical reproduction of the planned prosthetic position, supporting a prosthetically driven approach to anterior implant rehabilitation.
