Augmentation of single tooth extraction socket with deficient buccal walls using bovine xenograft with platelet-rich fibrin membrane.
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 5 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
backgroundDifferent techniques and materials such as bone grafts and bioactive agents have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation in extraction sockets with a defective wall, there is not a specific material or technique that has resulted in superior outcomes or prevented total bone loss.
objectivesThis clinical study aims to evaluate radiographically the effectiveness of using bovine xenograft with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane on vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge dimensional changes following tooth extraction that are complicated by buccal bone loss. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was conducted in Egypt on fourteen patients with a single posterior tooth indicated for extraction. A preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan confirmed more than 50% loss in buccal bone in each tooth. Extraction sockets were packed with minced PRF clots mixed with a bovine xenograft. Each extraction socket was sealed by PRF membranes. CBCT scans, performed before tooth extraction and after 6 months, were used to assess alveolar ridge changes both vertically and horizontally.
resultsThere was a significant gain in the buccal and middle of the extraction socket bone height, recording 86.01% (6.33 mm) and 206.45% (9.6 mm), respectively. There was an insignificant bone loss in the lingual bone height and width, recording - 8.49% (-1.06 mm) and - 13.39% (1.05 mm), respectively. The results also showed a non-significant decrease in alveolar bone density (-14.06%) between pre-operative bone present apical to the extraction socket and newly formed bone inside the socket.
conclusionsRidge preservation/augmentation techniques using a bone graft mixed with PRF and covered by PRF membranes in fresh extraction sockets complicated by the loss of buccal bone result in buccal bone augmentation and a reduction in horizontal and vertical ridge collapse after tooth extraction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The bovine xenograft in conjunction with PRF can be used immediately after extraction for ridge preservation, providing adequate bone width and height for implant placement.
