Evaluation of the Success of Autogenous Block Grafting in Atrophic Maxillary and Mandibular Ridges Prior to and After Implant Placement.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDental implantology's success relies on adequate bone volume and quality, necessitating bone augmentation for implant placement. Primary lateral bone augmentation, utilizing autogenous block grafts, addresses horizontal bone loss.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous block grafting, specifically ramus and fibula blocks, in addressing severe atrophic ridges before and after implant placement.
methodsTwenty-one patients underwent block grafting, predominantly using the ramus technique (80/20 ratio). CBCT measurements assessed horizontal grafting outcomes. Implant success and bone volume changes were analyzed.
resultsPost-grafting, bone width increased from 1.8-3.1 mm to 4.5-6 mm, exceeding critical thresholds. Implant success reached 95%, indicating the grafting techniques' effectiveness.
conclusionAutogenous block grafting, especially with ramus and fibula blocks, transforms severe atrophic ridges, enabling successful implant integration. Long-term follow-up is essential for a comprehensive evaluation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study provides crucial insights into autogenous block grafting's transformative impact on challenging cases, guiding future applications in reconstructive dentistry.
