Amniotic membrane versus platelet-rich fibrin in treatment of gingival recession- a randomized control trial.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: To determine the efficacy of latelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Amniotic membrane (AM) along with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique in treating Miller's class I gingival recession (GR) defects. Material and methods: A total of 32 sites with Miller's class I GR defects were distributed into Group A (CAF + PRF, n = 16) and Group B (CAF + AM, n = 16). Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), gingival sulcus depth (GSD), relative attachment level (RAL), and gingival marginal level (GML) were measured at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months after surgical intervention. Results: PRF and AM with CAF were effective treatment modalities for treating Miller's class I GR defects, with an average root coverage value of 2.00 ± 0.75 mm in Group A and 1.5 ± 0.3 mm in Group B. Complete coverage (100 %) was obtained in 57 % sites of group A and 49 % sites of group B. At the 9-month follow-up, there was a significant increase in relative attachment levels in both groups when compared to baseline. Conclusion: In the present study it was observed that there was a clinically and statistically significant improvement in root coverage with both groups. PRF-treated sites showed > 50 % complete coverage and hence were superior. AM showed comparable results to PRF and could be used as an alternative.
