1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Gingival recession is a mucogingival defect defined as the apical shifting of the gingival margin in relation to the CEJ. The use of connective tissue autografts allows for the obtention of very satisfactory results but is associated with undoubted disadvantages. The aim of the present work is to carry out a systematic review of the literature using a meta-analysis to investigate the clinical efficacy of xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) in the treatment of gingival recessions. This revision was carried out strictly following the guidelines published in the Cochrane Handbook. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to calculate relative risks and standardized mean differences for each of the variables considered. The results of the meta-analysis show that CAF + CTG was statistically better than CAF + XCM in almost all the variables analyzed: complete root coverage (RR 0.46), mean root coverage (SMD -0.89), recession reduction (SMD -0.98), clinical attachment level (SMD -0.63) and gingival thickness (SMD -1.68). Meanwhile, CAF + XCM was slightly better than CAF alone in regard to: mean root coverage (SMD 0.51), recession reduction (SMD 0.47) and gingival thickness (SMD 0.56). It is possible to conclude that CAF + CTG still remains the gold standard in radicular coverage.
