Efficacy of reactive soft tissue for alveolar ridge preservation: a prospective cohort study.
Observational study in Clinical oral investigations, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effect of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) sealing using reactive soft tissue (RST) or collagen sponge (CS), in combination with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM), for teeth with bone deficiency. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, 44 patients were recruited. During ARP therapy, RST or CS was applied for socket sealing. Horizontal and vertical bone dimensions were assessed before extraction (T0) and 6 months after ARP (T2). Modified Masse healing index (HI) was recorded to evaluate the soft tissue healing at 14 days after ARP (T1) and T2. Keratinized mucosa width (KMW) was measured at T0 and T2. Biopsies were collected during implant placement for histological analysis.
resultsThis study was finished by 40 patients. Horizontal ridge gains at 1, 3, and 5 mm below the crest were comparable in RST (4.37/5.57/4.16 mm) and CS (3.57/4.66/2.97 mm) groups. Similar vertical bone gains at both buccal and lingual sides were observed in RST and CS groups. Notably, the sockets in the RST group exhibited a significantly better early healing score (6) at T1 relative to the CS group (7) (p = 0.003). There was no significant difference in KMW changes as well as new bone proportion between the groups.
conclusionsRST and CS, when combined with DBBM, both effectively reduced ridge resorption in sockets with bone deficiency. RST demonstrated a more favorable effect on the early healing of sockets. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: RST is a promising socket sealing material in ARP, which reduces bone resorption, and promotes soft tissue healing.
