1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The purpose of this article is to describe a soft-tissue augmentation procedure for multiple tooth extraction sites during immediate placement and immediate loading (IPIL) dental implant surgery in periodontally compromised patients and to present follow-up results of its effectiveness. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on data from patients who underwent IPIL dental implant surgery between 2018 and 2021 at an oral implant centre in Bulgaria. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 103 patients were included, 53 of whom had pre-operative indications for connective tissue grafts (CTGs) and 50 of whom did not. The post-operative incidence of gum recession was evaluated in the two patient groups. Results: The majority of the 53 patients (56.60%) had six, seven or eight tooth sites grafted. A significant proportion (87%) needed CTGs at the canine teeth (13 and 23), Discussion: Soft-tissue augmentation at multiple tooth extraction sites during IPIL dental implant treatment may benefit periodontally compromised patients through an improved prosthesis-tissue interface in the aesthetic area and a reduction in gum infections, swelling, bleeding and pain.
