Conical Telescopic Overdenture in Geriatric with Weak Upper Extremities: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. 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
Conical telescopic overdentures have a self-centering insertion path, which differs from parallel-walled telescopic designs. This biomechanical characteristic minimizes lateral stresses on abutment teeth, which may allow for better prosthesis placement in patients with upper extremity weakness. A 69-year-old female patient presented with concerns regarding the poor condition of her remaining teeth (15, 14, 13, 25, 33, and 41) and requested prosthodontic rehabilitation while preserving the existing dentition. Clinically, the patient reported weakness in her upper extremities, with difficulties in grasping, holding objects, and performing controlled movements. Given these functional limits, conical telescopic crowns were chosen to provide a double-crown system with favorable load distribution and abutment protection. A maxillary conical telescopic overdenture, paired with a mandibular full overdenture, was intended to allow for independent insertion and removal. This case illustrates that conical telescopic overdentures can be a practical and patient-centered treatment option for individuals with upper extremity weakness.
