Diode Laser Intended Frenotomy Procedure for High Frenal Attachment Causing Gingival Recession: A Case Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The alveolar mucous membrane, the gingiva, and the underlying bone are fixed to the lip and cheek by the frenum, a fold in the mucous membrane. The surgical process known as a frenectomy involves completely removing the frenum that connects it to the bone. Traditional frenectomy involves using a blade, while a more recent technique is frenectomy assisted by a laser. When the frenum has an atypical connection, a labial or lingual frenectomy is performed. In this instance, there is an abnormal frequency of attachment, which puts the patient's appearance, causing midline diastema and plaque control, at serious risk and could result in mucogingival impairment. This case study describes how diode laser therapy was used to successfully treat a female patient who was suffering from sensitivity.
