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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of AFG and i-PRF on palatal wound healing and postoperative discomfort. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-six patients in need of FGG were divided into three groups. AFG (n = 12) or i-PRF (n = 12) was applied and compared with control group (n = 12). Wound healing with H

resultsEpithelialization was higher in the test groups on the 14th day than the control group (p < 0.05). MSS scores at the 14th day and 1st month were lower in the AFG group than the control and the i-PRF group (p < 0.05). In the AFG group, LTH levels at the 3rd,7th, and 14th days and 1 month were higher than control and i-PRF groups (p < 0.05). VAS scores of the AFG group were lower than the control and i-PRF groups at the 7th day (p < 0.05). Bleeding was lower in the test groups than in the control group (p < 0.05). There was no difference between the groups in terms of tissue thickness (p > 0.05).

conclusionAFG and i-PRF have positive effects on the healing process by accelerating wound healing and reducing postoperative morbidity. Therewithal, AFG has superior properties in wound healing compared with i-PRF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Patient discomfort and pain feeling have a great effect on patient's tendency to surgery and platelet concentrates such as AFG and i-PRF overcome these problems and contribute to patient's quality of life.
