The effect of dental pulp stem cells and L-PRF when placed into the extraction sockets of impacted mandibular third molars on the periodontal status of adjacent second molars: a split-mouth, randomized, controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04641533 (Effect of Dental Pulp Stem Cells and L-PRF Placed Into the Extraction Sockets of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars on the Periodontal Status of Adjacent Second Molars), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 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.

Abstract
purposeTo compare the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) seeded onto L-PRF and L-PRF alone in the extraction socket of mandibular third molars.
methodsThis study analyzed 13 patients who required surgical removal of impacted bilateral mandibular third molars. The main outcome measures were the probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) that were recorded for the adjacent second molars (LM2) at the baseline and 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcomes were radiographic vertical bone loss (VD) and relative bone density (rBD) distal to the LM2.
resultsTwenty-six LM2s were evaluated. After 6 months, the L-PRF and L-PRF + DPSC groups showed a significant reduction in PPD (1.65 ± 1.01 mm and 1.54 ± 0.78 mm) and CAL (2.23 ± 1.45 mm and 2.12 ± 0.74 mm), respectively. There was no difference between the groups for any periodontal parameters. No significant differences were found between the groups regarding the VD or rBD at the sixth month.
conclusionsThis study found that there was a significant improvement regarding the PPD, CAL, and VD measurements with the application of L-PRF, both alone and with the addition of DPSC, at the extraction socket. DPSC did not significantly contribute to the results compared to L-PRF therapy alone.
trial registrationThis study was registered on 23 December 2020 on ClinicalTrials.gov under the number NCT04641533.
