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

objectivesThis study sought to evaluate the efficacy of cancellous bovine bone mineral granules and 10% porcine collagen (deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen [DBBM-C]; (OCS-B Collagen® [Straumann XenoFlex], NIBEC, Korea) in a mouldable block form, with or without socket seal, using autogenous free gingival graft (FGG).

methodsFifty-four patients were included and randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) spontaneous healing (control group), (2) alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) using DBBM-C (DBBM-C group), and (3) ARP employing DBBM-C sealed with FGG (DBBM-C/FGG group). Bone biopsy and implant fixture placement were performed 180 days after ARP. Cone-beam computed tomography, histological analysis, implant stability, and three-dimensional volumetric analysis were conducted.

resultsOf the 54 patients, 4 dropped out owing to loss of follow-up and osseointegration failure. The changes in alveolar bone during follow-up were not significantly different. Between 84- and 180-day postextraction, the volume of the DBBM-C and DBBM-C/FGG groups was maintained at 3 mm below the alveolar ridge crest (0.72 ± 0.80 mm, 6.05 ± 6.69%), whereas the volume in the control group decreased (-0.37 ± 1.31 mm, -2.10% ± 8.37%) (P = .026). The DBBM-C/FGG group exhibited less horizontal ridge resorption at 1 mm below the alveolar crest (-9.19 ± 5.09 mm, -73.67% ± 32.53%) between preextraction and 84 days postextraction (P = .049). In all groups, the implant stability quotient remained above 70.

conclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, both ARP using DBBM-C with and without socket sealing effectively preserved the width dimension of the alveolar ridge, with no significant difference in alveolar bone resorption. However, socket sealing appeared to enhance the stability of the bone graft and bone quality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of DBBM-C for ARP seems to aid in volume maintenance as compared with spontaneous healing. Gingival sealing with an FGG can help maintain the width of the alveolar ridge. This clinical trial was not registered prior to participant recruitment and randomization. This study was registered at WHO ICTRP (https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=KCT0008266).
