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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to measure, in vivo, the supracrestal tissue attachment dimensions (STADs) by means of a noninvasive digital method and to investigate the association between STADs and gingival thickness (GT), tooth position, tooth length, tooth width, keratinized tissue width (KTW), buccal bone thickness (BBT), and bone crest (BC) level.

methodsNineteen periodontally healthy subjects who previously received full mouth periodontal charting, cone beam computed tomography, and intraoral scan for the purpose of implant planning were included in the study. A digital imaging software was used for the superimposition of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine and stereolithography files, along with hard and soft tissue measurements. Pearson's correlation and ANOVA statistical analyses were used to investigate potential trends between STADs and other dentogingival components.

resultsA total of 203 teeth were assessed, with an average STADs of 2.05 mm (±0.99 mm). STADs were larger in mandibular than maxillary teeth (p-value <0.001) and decreased from anterior to posterior teeth. STADs exhibited an inverse relationship with BBTs and GTs (p-value <0.001) and the KTW (p-value = 0.05). Positive correlations were found between GT and BBT (p-value <0.001), whereas both were negatively correlated with the distance between the cementoenamel junction and BC (p-values 0.019 and 0.006, respectively) and positively correlated with KTW (p-value <0.001).

conclusionsThis study highlighted the dynamic nature of STA relative to tooth position. Additionally, it explored the intricate relationships of STADs with various dentogingival components. KEY POINTS: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first application of CBCTs, intraoral scans, and clinical probe depths for noninvasive supracrestal tissue attachment measurements. This study advocates for a personalized assessment of supracrestal attachments, incorporating tooth position and other dentogingival components. The study emphasizes the importance for practitioners to consider the specific patient gingival phenotypes during restorative or surgical planning to avoid adverse outcomes.
