MRI for the display of autologous onlay bone grafts during early healing-an experimental study.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 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
objectivesAutologous bone grafts are the gold standard to augment deficient alveolar bone. Dimensional graft alterations during healing are not known as they are not accessible to radiography. Therefore, MRI was used to display autologous onlay bone grafts in vivo during early healing. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Ten patients with alveolar bone atrophy and autologous onlay grafts were included. MRI was performed with a clinical MR system and an intraoral coil preoperatively (t0), 1 week (t1), 6 weeks (t2) and 12 weeks (t3) postoperatively, respectively. The graft volumes were assessed in MRI by manual segmentation by three examiners. Graft volumes for each time point were calculated and dimensional alteration was documented. Cortical and cancellous proportions of bone grafts were assessed. The intraobserver and interobserver variability were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using a mixed linear regression model.
resultsAutologous onlay bone grafts with cortical and cancellous properties were displayed
conclusionsMRI is eligible for the display and longitudinal observation of autologous onlay bone grafts. Image artifacts caused measurements deviations in some cases and minimized the precise assessment of graft volume. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first study that used MRI for the longitudinal observation of autologous onlay bone grafts.
