Assessment of bone quality using buccal and palatal autogenous cortical shells harvested from two different mandibular donor sites for maxillary alveolar ridge augmentation: a histomorphometric randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03607006 (3D Ridge Augmentation in the Anterior Maxillary Region Using Patient Specific Polyether Ether Ketone), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to compare the quality of free autogenous bone grafts harvested from two different mandibular donor sites, used as onlay shells to augment horizontally and vertically deficient anterior maxillary alveolar ridges.
methodsFourteen patients with edentulous and atrophic anterior maxillae are randomly allocated into two groups. Seven symphyseal chin (group I) and seven retromolar (group II) mandibular bone grafts were harvested and fashioned to construct buccal and palatal frameworks, fixed in place with mini-screws, followed by compacting the inter-positional gaps with an equal particulate mix of xenograft and autogenous cancellous particulates. Six months later, 42 core biopsies, three from each patient, 21 for each study group, were retrieved before the implants' insertion and subjected to histomorphometric bone area percent analysis.
resultsThe bone area percent of the newly formed bone augmented with the chin shells was 52.53 ± 1.68% versus 47.97 ± 1.83% for the retromolar grafts. The mean area percent difference between both groups was statistically significant (p = 0.0004).
conclusionA higher bone quality and more volumetric stability were associated with the symphyseal cortical shells. CLINICAL
trial registrationThe study was registered on www.clinicaltrials.gov (#: NCT03607006) in July 2018 by Ola Alaa El Morsy.
