Restoring Severely Atrophic Edentulous Ridge of Mandible Using Self-Expanding Tissue Expander-A Case Report.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 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
This report describes the use of Self Inflating Tissue Expanders (SITEs) to rehabilitate severely atrophic edentulous mandibular ridges, enabling successful bone grafting and implant placement. The treatment resulted in stable and complication-free implants over a seven-year follow-up, demonstrating SITEs' effectiveness in providing sufficient bone volume and soft tissue coverage for dental implants.
