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

The epitome of periodontal plastic surgical procedures is to achieve coverage of the denuded root surface and flawless esthetics. Connective tissue graft (CTG) along with coronally advanced flap (CAF) is the most frequent approach, which is considered a gold standard remedy. The procurement of CTG requires a second surgical site morbidity. Mucograft and coronally advanced flap procedures are preferable alternative substitutes for root coverage. This case report included two patients with gingival recession. One patient was treated with CAF and CTG; the other was treated with CAF and mucograft. The vascularity was assessed with Doppler flowmetry on days three and five after surgery. The xenogeneic collagen matrix for the management of gingival recession resulted in a comparable amount of vascularization compared to autologous connective tissue graft.
