Minimally invasive treatment of gingival recession by vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access technique with collagen membrane and advanced platelet-rich fibrin: A 6-month comparative clinical study.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
aimThe study aimed to assess the minimally invasive Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) technique for treatment of Millers Class I or Class II buccal gingival recession defects and to compare the effectiveness of a bioresorbable collagen membrane or advanced platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF). METHODS AND MATERIAL: 20 sites with Millers Class I or II gingival recession were recruited and allocated into 2 groups with 10 sites each. Group 1: VISTA with A-PRF, Group 2: VISTA with with bioresorbable collagen membrane (Healiguide)®. STANDARDIZED CLINICAL PARAMETERS: Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Clinical attachment level (CAL )Pocket Probing Depth (PPD) Recession Height (RH ) and width of keratinized gingiva (WKG) were measured at baseline 3 months and 6 months.
resultsBoth groups showed significant improvement in clinical parameters. However reduction in recession height and mean root coverage percentage was greater in A-PRF group after 6 months.
conclusionsVISTA with both A-PRF and Healiguide showed good clinical outcomes but better results were obtained when A-PRF was used.
