Three-dimensional volumetric assessment of hard tissue alterations following horizontal guided bone regeneration using a split-thickness flap design: A case series.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesTo analyze morphological, volumetric, and linear hard tissue changes following horizontal ridge augmentation using a three-dimensional radiographic method.
methodsAs part of a larger ongoing prospective study, 10 lower lateral surgical sites were selected for evaluation. Horizontal ridge deficiencies were treated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using a split-thickness flap design and a resorbable collagen barrier membrane. Following the segmentation of baseline and 6-month follow-up cone-beam computed tomography scans, volumetric, linear, and morphological hard tissue changes and the efficacy of the augmentation were assessed (expressed by the volume-to-surface ratio).
resultsVolumetric hard tissue gain averaged 605.32 ± 380.68 mm
conclusionsWith the applied method, previously unreported aspects of hard tissue changes following horizontal GBR could be examined. Midcrestal bone resorption was demonstrated, most likely caused by increased osteoclast activity following the elevation of the periosteum. The volume-to-surface ratio expressed the efficacy of the procedure independent of the size of the surgical area.
