Evaluation of wound healing following surgical extractions using the IPR Scale.
Article in International dental journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo monitor wound healing following surgical extraction of wisdom teeth using the novel Inflammatory Proliferative Remodeling (IPR) Scale.
methodsA prospective study design was used. Participants included 94 otherwise healthy adult patients undergoing surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth at a tertiary medical centre from June 2018 to June 2019. The IPR Scale was completed by two resident surgeons in oral and maxillofacial surgery at three time points after the procedure, corresponding to the three phases of wound healing. Mean subscale and total scores were calculated. Patients graded their preoperative anxiety, intraoperative pain, and pain during follow-up on a 10 cm visual analog scale, and the findings were correlated with the IPR Scale scores.
resultsMean IPR total score (range 0-16) was excellent (14.43 ± 1.45). Mean scores by healing phase were as follows: inflammatory 6.35 ± 1.34 (range 0-8); proliferation, 4.56 ± 0.8 (range 0-5); remodeling, 2.83 ± 0.51 (range 0-3). There was a positive correlation between mean preoperative anxiety level (5.9 ± 3.6) and intraoperative pain perception (2.4 ± 2.4; P = 0.65) and a negative correlation between mean preoperative anxiety level and IPR Scale scores for each healing phase. Two cases were complicated by abscesses which resolved with treatment.
conclusionThe IPR Scale is a promising tool for the effective evaluation of the wound healing process following wisdom tooth extractions. Relaxation methods and behavioural adaptation might help to lower patient anxiety and thereby improve oral wound healing.
