Lyophilised Amniotic Membrane in Intraoral Surgical Defects: A Prospective Clinical Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
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
Introduction: The incidence of infection and scarring in intraoral raw wounds are decreased when wounds are grafted with biological materials. The favourable results of many studies about amniotic membrane in wound healing inspired us to investigate the effects of lyophilised amniotic membrane in intaoral surgical defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of oral mucosal defects after application of lyophilised amniotic membrane (AM). Methods: Fifteen patients with oral precancerous lesions were included in this study. Lyophilised amniotic membrane was applied to the intraoral surgical defect, after wide excision of the lesion. The effectiveness of the lyophilised AM was evaluated by scoring the following parameters operability, haemostatic status, pain, feeding situation, epithelialisation, change in mouth opening, mucosal suppleness and safety. Results: The lyophilised amniotic membrane has been found to be effective in this study after evaluation of the parameters. No infection or allergic reaction was noticed after application of the lyophilised amniotic membrane in intraoral surgical defects. Discussion: In our study, the size and site of the surgical defect influenced the scar contracture so we suggest lyophilised AM may not prevent scarring for extensive surgical defects. All other findings regarding the effectiveness of lyophilised amniotic membrane in oral wound healing are in accordance with the findings of other studies conducted on hyperdry and cryopreserved AM. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, the results showed that the lyophilised amniotic membrane is a cost effective material for immediate coverage of the intraoral surgical defects.
