Clinical investigation of gingival papilla recession after orthodontic treatment in adults.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo investigate the incidence, severity, susceptibility sites of gingival papillary recession (GPR) in adults after orthodontic treatment and the clinical impact of tooth extraction on GPR.
methodsA total of 82 adult patients were recruited and then divided into extraction and non-extraction groups according to whether the orthodontic teeth were extracted (teeth that needed to be extracted when performing orthodontic treatment). The gingival conditions of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were recorded using intraoral photos, and the incidence, severity and predilection sites of GPR after correction were investigated.
resultsThe results indicated that GPR occurred in 29 patients after correction, with an incidence rate of 35.4%. A total of 1648 gingival papillae were recorded among the 82 patients after correction, of which 67 exhibited atrophy, with an incidence of 4.1%. All occurrences of GPR were classified as papilla presence index 2 (PPI 2) (mild). The condition is most likely to occur in the anterior tooth area, especially in the lower incisor area. The results indicated that the incidence of GPR was substantially higher in the extraction group than in the non-extraction group, with the difference statistically significant.
conclusionFollowing orthodontic treatment, adult patients will have a certain proportion of mild GPR, which is more common in the anterior tooth area, especially the lower anterior tooth area.
