Subjective Evaluation of Denture Adhesives in Mandibular Complete Denture Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05063422 (Retentive Strength of Various Dental Adhesives on Various Types of Residual Ridged), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Edentulism significantly affects oral function and quality of life, particularly among mandibular complete denture wearers, where reduced retention and stability remain common clinical challenges. Denture adhesives are frequently recommended as adjuncts to improve denture performance; however, limited randomized controlled trials have compared different adhesive forms using standardized control conditions. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the short-term subjective effects of cream, powder, and strip-type denture adhesives on satisfaction and functional outcomes in mandibular complete denture wearers. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 240 completely edentulous participants aged 40-70 years with moderately resorbed mandibular ridges. Participants were randomly allocated into four groups ( Results: All adhesive types demonstrated significantly higher satisfaction, improved chewing ability, greater retention, and enhanced comfort compared with the control group ( Conclusion: All adhesive types significantly improve short-term satisfaction, mastication, retention, and comfort in mandibular complete denture wearers. Improvements in speaking ability were observed with cream and strip adhesives only, while denture cleanliness or adhesive removal from dentures remained comparable across all groups. Trial Registration: The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (first submitted date: June 24, 2021; identifier number: NCT05063422) and approved by the ethical review committee of Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine, Pakistan (AIDM/RDRC/01/2021/03).
