Microsurgery in periodontics and oral implantology: a systematic review of current clinical applications and outcomes.
Synthesis in Evidence-based dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThe aim of this systematic review was to comprehensively explore the current trends and therapeutic approaches in which an operating microscope (OM) is used in periodontics and dental implant surgeries. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic search strategy was built to detect studies including various surgical techniques performed under an OM. PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases were searched. No limitations in terms of time and language were applied. The data regarding the study design, type of procedure, treatment groups, and surgical outcomes were collected and analyzed descriptively. In addition, a bibliometric analysis was performed concerning the co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence network.
resultsOut of 1985 articles, finally, 55 met the inclusion criteria. Current periodontal and implant microsurgery trends consist of: periodontal therapy, dental implant microsurgery, soft tissue grafting and periodontal plastic surgery, bone augmentation, ridge preservation, and ortho-perio microsurgery. The bibliometric analysis revealed "guided tissue regeneration", "periodontal regeneration" and "root coverage" being the most repeated keywords (landmark nodes). 132 authors within 29 clusters were identified, publishing within the frameworks of "periodontal and implant microsurgery".
conclusionWithin its limitations, this systematic review provides an overview of the latest trends in periodontal and implant microsurgery when considering the use of an OM as the magnification tool. Also, it discusses the reported success and outcomes of the mentioned procedures.
