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

Purpose: The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the wound healing indices available in literature and propose a new intra-oral wound healing index to assess the healing of palatal mucosa. Materials and Methods: A PubMed database search was conducted to identify relevant studies using the search strategy: ('Oral Wound healing') OR ('Palatal tissue healing') OR ('Healing indices in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery') OR ('Palatal wound healing') OR ('Complications in wound healing'). A qualitative and quantitative synthesis of the results was done and data was presented following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Results: The search resulted in 9 articles published between 2019 and 2022, which were eligible for inclusion in the study. The data revealed that the indices currently available for the assessment of intra-oral healing were limited and primarily concerned with the assessment of gingival and periodontal tissues. Conclusion: The healing indices devised for gingival and periodontal tissues cannot be applied to palatal healing due to the differences in clinical and histological aspects. Therefore, a new index to monitor the healing response specifically for the soft tissues in the palate has been proposed. This maybe particularly useful in cleft palate repair and other procedures performed over the palatal tissues.
