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

backgroundVarious approaches are used for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP); however, there is no standard method or material. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ARP with a dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone for sockets with bone deficiency. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-four patients (with sockets exhibiting ≥3 mm hard tissue loss in ≥1 walls) were randomized to undergo natural socket healing (control) or ARP with a d-PTFE membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone (test group). After 4 months, horizontal and vertical ridge changes were measured using cone beam computed tomography.

resultsRidge width at l mm below the ridge crest demonstrated significantly less change in the test group (median =2.3; Q1 = 0.6; Q3 = 4.3 mm) than in the control group (median =3.9; Q1 =2.6; Q3 = 7.8 mm; P = .021). There was no significant difference between the two groups in horizontal ridge changes at 3 and 5 mm below the crest or vertical changes (P > .05). Requirement for bone augmentation at implant placement was significantly reduced in the test group compared to the control group (P < .001).

conclusionARP with a d-PTFE membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone substitute reduced horizontal bone resorption in sockets with bone deficiency.
