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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous bone graft (ABG) with and without autogenous periodontal ligament graft (PDLG) in the management of human two-wall intrabony periodontal defects. Twenty-six similar two-wall intrabony periodontal defects with >or=5 mm probing depths and >or=3 mm depths of intrabony component in 13 nonsmoking healthy patients were selected. One defect in each subject was treated with ABG alone (ABG group) and the contralateral one with ABG and PDLG (PDLG group). The primary outcomes of the study included changes in clinical probing depth (CPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Groups showed statistically significant improvements in soft and hard tissue parameters after 6 months. However, the between-group differences after 6 months were not statistically significant with regard to soft and hard tissue measurements except CAL gain. In the combined group, it was significantly higher than the ABG group (3.69 and 2 mm, respectively; P = 0.03). Within the limits of this study, both treatments resulted in marked clinical improvement, but combined treatment seemed to enhance the results in the treatment of two-wall intrabony defects.
