1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study proposes a novel combined intraosseous-subperiosteal hybrid implant to rehabilitate severely atrophic edentulous mandibles. We aimed to elucidate its biomechanical behavior through finite element analysis.

methodsUsing CBCT data from an edentulous patient, we reconstructed a 3D mandibular model. We designed intraosseous fixtures tailored to the residual bone volume and fused them with superstructure abutments and a customized subperiosteal titanium mesh using 3-matic software. Four finite element models were assembled, varying in implant design and abutment count. These models were subjected to four loading conditions: anterior vertical, unilateral molar vertical, bilateral molar vertical, and unilateral molar lateral occlusions. Biomechanical performance was assessed by evaluating the maximum and minimum principal stresses in the peri-implant bone and the von Mises stresses in the prosthetic components.

resultsUnder simulated masticatory loads, the novel combined intraosseous-subperiosteal hybrid implant exhibited stress levels well within the elastic range of the material, avoiding plastic deformation. Notably, the six-abutment configuration proved superior under posterior loading, reducing peak von Mises stress in screws by roughly 33% and in implants by 25.5% relative to ultra-short implants.

conclusionsThe proposed combined intraosseous-subperiosteal hybrid implant exhibits superior biomechanical stability for severe mandibular atrophy scenarios. By significantly mitigating stress concentrations, particularly in the six-abutment setup, this design presents a viable clinical alternative to overcome common prosthetic rehabilitation challenges.
