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

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a surgical procedure applied in the reconstruction of periodontal defects, where an occlusive membrane is used to prevent the fast-growing connective tissue from migrating into the defect. In this work, silk fibroin (SF) membranes were developed for periodontal guided tissue regeneration. Solutions of SF with glycerol (GLY) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) where prepared at several weight ratios up to 30%, followed by solvent casting and thermal annealing at 85 °C for periods of 6 and 12 h to produce high flexible and stable membranes. These were characterized in terms of their morphology, physical integrity, chemical structure, mechanical and thermal properties, swelling capability and in vitro degradation behavior. The developed blended membranes exhibited high ductility, which is particular relevant considering the need for physical handling and adaptability to the defect. Moreover, the membranes were cultured with human periodontal ligament fibroblast cells (hPDLs) up to 7 days. Also, the higher hydrophilicity and consequent in vitro proteolytic degradability of these blends was superior to pure silk fibroin membranes. In particular SF/GLY blends demonstrated to support high cell adhesion and viability with an adequate hPDLs' morphology, make them excellent candidates for applications in periodontal regeneration.
