A new bone substitute in the definitive management of furcation involvement: a case report.
Article in The West Indian medical journal, 2014. 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
Bone xenografts are used for reconstructive surgery in medicine and dentistry. The grafts are osteoconductive, serving as a matrix in bone regeneration. Furcation involvements are one of the most challenging clinical problems in periodontics. Unilab Surgibone is a bone xenograft and has been investigated in many clinical and experimental studies. In this case report, a 50-year old male patient was diagnosed with a Class III furcation problem in his upper right first molar. The tooth was surgically treated by resection of the distobuccal root after the flap elevation. The extraction defect was grafted with the Unilab Surgibone. After nine months, the patient was evaluated clinically and radiographically. The healing was uneventful. The clinical and radiographic data suggest that Unilab Surgibone supports bone regeneration.
