Efficacy of Xenogeneic Collagen Matrices in Augmenting Peri-Implant Soft Tissue: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06837688 (Evaluation of Xenogeneic Collagen Matrix Versus Connective Tissue Graft to Enhance Soft Tissue Profile Around Single Dental Implants in the Aesthetic Zone), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundXenogenic collagen matrices (XCMs) are gaining popularity for soft tissue augmentation in dental implants; yet, gaps exist in our understanding of their comparative effectiveness.
objectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis focuses on studies that utilize soft tissue augmentation techniques for dental implants to improve keratinized mucosa width (KMW), soft tissue thickness (STT), and soft tissue volume (STV). We compared porcine collagen matrices with autogenous grafts when no bone grafts were utilized. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe searched databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials published between January 2013 and July 2023 that assessed the efficacy of XCM in peri-implant soft tissue augmentation. The primary outcome included KMW changes while the secondary outcome was STT/STV changes. Statistical analyses were conducted using a random- or fixed-effects model, and heterogeneity was assessed using I
resultsNine studies were included in the qualitative analysis, and six were included in the meta-analysis. No significant intergroup differences were observed (p > 0.05), but a significant difference was observed in favor of KMW ≥ 2 mm. Heterogeneity among the studies varied at the 6- and 12-month follow-ups, with I
conclusionsCollagen matrices are less effective than autogenous grafts at increasing keratinized tissue and STT/STV, but the two techniques yield comparable aesthetic outcomes. Additional studies are necessary to better guide clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
