Management of a severely atrophic maxilla using concentrated platelet-rich fibrin block. A case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tooth loss often leads to significant alveolar bone resorption, presenting a challenge for dental implant placement. This case report presents the effectiveness of concentrated platelet-rich fibrin (C-PRF) in combination with bone allograft for horizontal bone augmentation in a severely atrophic maxilla. A 33-year-old female patient with extensive bone loss in the upper anterior maxilla was treated in two stages. The initial stage involved horizontal bone augmentation using a mixture of C-PRF and bone allograft. This was followed, 5 months later, by dental implant placement. The preparation of C-PRF, surgical procedure, and postoperative care are thoroughly described. Post-treatment Cone Beam Computed Tomography showed an increase in alveolar bone thickness from 2.4-3.4 mm pre-operatively to 6.3-7.3 mm, demonstrating the procedure's effectiveness in achieving adequate bone volume for implant placement. The use of C-PRF with allograft in horizontal bone augmentation shows promise in enhancing bone regeneration, especially in a severely atrophic maxilla.
