Gingival phenotype determination: Cutoff values, relationship between gingival and alveolar crest bone thickness at different landmarks.

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
Background/purpose: Gingival phenotype (GP) has been reported to influence the treatment planning and clinical outcomes in several dental specialties. This study aimed to investigate optimal cutoff values for gingival thickness (GT) measurement at different landmarks to determine GP. The correlations between GT and bone thickness (BT) of buccal alveolar crest were also analyzed. Materials and methods: A total of 600 teeth were included. GP was clinically determined by the transparency of a periodontal probe through the gingival margin (TRAN). Measurements for free gingival thickness (GT1), cementoenamel junction gingival thickness (GT2), supracrestal gingival thickness (GT3), subcrestal 1 mm gingival thickness (GT4) and BT at 1, 3 mm apical from the alveolar crest edge (BT1 and BT2) were assessed on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate correlations between GT and BT. Results: The optimal cutoff values of GT using CBCT method to discriminate GP were 0.75 mm for GT1, 0.85 mm for GT2, 1.15 mm for GT3 and 0.45 mm for GT4. There was significantly positive correlation between GT and BT at all levels (r: 0.375-0.903). The correlations between GT3 and BT (r: 0.789-0.903) were strong, while correlations between GT4 and BT were weak (r: 0.375-0.467). Conclusion: The optimal cutoff values of gingival thickness using CBCT method to discriminate gingival phenotype at each gingival landmark were determined. The supracrestal gingival thickness might be an indicator of buccal alveolar crest bone thickness, which could provide valuable perspectives on clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and decision-making.
