Clinical outcomes of guided tissue regeneration with carbonate apatite granules and poly(lactic acid/caprolactone) membrane for the treatment of intrabony defects and mandibular Class II furcation involvements: A 12-month prospective pilot clinical study.

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
Introduction: For deep intrabony defects or Class II furcation involvements (FI), periodontal tissue regenerative therapy combined with bone graft materials and a barrier membrane is recommended. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of using carbonate apatite (CO Methods: This prospective pilot clinical study, conducted at a single center with a single-arm design, aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of CO Results: Postoperative healing was uneventful in most of the cases. In some cases, membrane exposures were observed. However, there were no signs of inflammation, such as abnormal bleeding, pain, swelling, or pus. These exposures eventually healed well in the end. The mean reductions in PPD at 6 and 12 months were 4.5 ± 1.6 mm and 4.9 ± 1.4 mm, respectively, while the mean gains in CAL were 4.4 ± 1.7 mm at 6 months and 4.6 ± 1.2 mm at 12 months. Radiographic analysis showed improvements in linear bone height within intrabony defects and in the vertical subclassification of FI in Class II FI. Conclusions: Despite the limitations of this study, periodontal regenerative therapy using CO
