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

Over the years, various materials have been used for scaffold-based periodontal tissue engineering to regenerate lost periodontal tissues. The use of amniotic membrane (AM) as a scaffold for periodontal regeneration has gained great interest among researchers. This narrative review aims to appraise the properties of AM and its potential clinical applications in periodontal regeneration. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library databases were searched for relevant articles that highlighted the properties and applications of AM in periodontal regeneration. AM has a unique structure and components contributing to its exceptional properties such as anti-inflammatory (presence of anti-inflammatory factors), low immunogenicity (presence of human leukocyte antigen-G), anti-scarring (downregulation of transforming growth factor-β), antimicrobial (expression of antimicrobial factors), promotion of epithelialization (production of growth factors), and reduction of pain (protection of exposed nerve endings). Its use in the treatment of periodontal tissue defect has shown to be effective. AM showed various beneficial properties as an ideal scaffold. Future studies and long-term clinical trials on the efficacy and survival rate of AM are required to completely understand the potential application of AM in periodontal regeneration.
