Correlation between gingival phenotype in the aesthetic zone and craniofacial profile-a CBCT-based study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo investigate the correlation between gingival phenotype and craniofacial profile and to evaluate the morphology of periodontal supporting tissues in the maxillary and mandibular anterior zones. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 66 patients with 264 central incisors in good periodontal health were included in this cross-sectional study. CBCT images were used to assess gingiva and alveolar bone thickness of the maxillary and mandibular incisors at four vertical levels. Cephalometric analysis was used to assess the sagittal profile of the craniofacial structures. Gingival thickness was compared in patients with different craniofacial profiles based on ANB value. Linear regression coefficients adjusted by age and gender were used to evaluate the correlation between gingival thickness and the cephalometric parameters.
resultsIndividuals with a smaller ANB value (ANB< 2) presented with thinner supporting tissue and a keratinized gingiva width in the anterior zone. Labial gingival thickness on the mandibular incisors at the cementoenamel junction (G1) and at the alveolar bone crest (G2) was positively related to cephalometric measures, indicating a maxillae-mandibular sagittal relationship (ANB value, Wits appraisal, A-NPog value).
conclusionsA moderate correlation was found between mandibular gingival thickness and the sagittal craniofacial profile. Patients with a concave craniofacial profile had a smaller keratinized gingiva width and gingival thickness in the aesthetic zone. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Knowledge of these features on supporting tissue and their correlations with craniofacial morphology will help clinicians to develop a reasonable treatment plan and make decisions to achieve the best aesthetic outcome.
