Comparative study of the modified VISTA technique (m-VISTA) versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) in the treatment of multiple Miller class III/RT2 recessions: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03258996 (Modified VISTA Technique Versus Coronally Advanced Flap in the Treatment of Class III Multiple Recessions), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesTo compare the percentage of mean root coverage (MRC%) obtained in the treatment of multiple Miller class III/RT2 gingival recessions using the modified VISTA (m-VISTA) technique versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique, using a connective tissue graft (CTG) in both cases. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-four patients were randomly treated with m-VISTA (test group (TG) = 12) or CAF (control group (CG) = 12). A calibrated, experienced, and blinded examiner collected data related to multiple periodontal clinical variables, especially the recession (REC) in order to calculate the MRC% at 6 and 12 months, which was the primary outcome of the study. Also, the radiological bone level, the characteristics of the CTG, and postsurgical incidences were assessed. Finally, a descriptive and an analytical statistical analysis of the variables and their associations was performed.
resultsThe recessions (n = 84) were located mainly in the mandible (n = 65) and in posterior sectors (premolars: n = 35; molars: n = 8). At 6 months, the MRC% was 61% (2 mm) for both study groups, and at 12 months, it increased to 73.26% (2.11 mm) in the TG and decreased to 56.49% (1.78 mm) in the CG.
conclusionWhen approaching multiple Miller class III/RT2 recessions, there were no statistically significant differences in the MRC% at 6 and 12 months between the group treated with the m-VISTA technique and the group treated with the CAF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The characteristics of the m-VISTA technique, such as the closed approach, the mobilization of the papilla, and the coronal stabilization of the CTG, could facilitate the maturation of the tissues in the treatment of Miller class III/RT2 recessions. This would favor better root coverage.
