Treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions with an acellular dermal matrix or a connective tissue graft: a Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of an acellular dermal matrix or a connective tissue autograft in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions through Meta-analysis.
methodsRandomized controlled trials were screened in four electronic databases in English according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria until April 20, 2022. The main outcome indicators were keratinized gingival tissue width, recession depth, probing depth, clinical attachment level, complete root coverage, and root coverage esthetic score.
resultsSeven randomized controlled trials were included. After 12 months, the connective tissue graft in the control group could increase the keratinized gingival tissue width [mean difference (MD)=-0.28 (-0.47, -0.08),
conclusionsConnective tissue grafts have advantages in increasing the keratinized gingival tissue width, reducing the gingival recession depth, and improving the complete root coverage in surgeries for treating multiple adjacent gingival recessions. Acellular dermal matrices also have some clinical value in terms of operation simplicity and similar effectiveness.
