A Comparative Study of Mucosal Wound Healing after Excision with a Scalpel, Diode Laser, or CO
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We aimed to compare the clinical and histological secondary healing effectiveness of various types of high-level laser versus scalpel excision in mucosa frenectomy. Methods: Forty-five Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. These rats were divided into two laser intervention groups (CO Results: Both laser groups demonstrated significantly ( Conclusion: Scalpel and CO
