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

objectivesTo investigate the correlation between gingival thickness (GT) and buccal bone thickness (BBT), as well as the effects of GT, BBT, bone crest level (BC), and tooth position on the buccal gingival margin location of maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone. MATERIALS AND

methodsPeriodontally healthy subjects with prior cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scans for dental implant planning were included. The hard and soft tissue measurements were retrospectively analyzed digitally. Pearson's correlation and ANOVA were used to evaluate the correlations between clinical/anatomical crown height ratios (CCH/ACH), gingival and buccal bone thicknesses, and the distance between the CEJ and BC (CEJ-BC).

resultsForty-two subjects with 252 teeth were analyzed. A positive correlation was found between GT and BBT (p < 0.001). GT and BBT were negatively correlated with CCH/ACH (p = 0.006 and p = 0.004, respectively), while CCH/ACH showed a positive correlation with CEJ-BC (p < 0.001).

conclusionsWithin the limitations of our study, we concluded that gingival and buccal bone thicknesses were positively correlated. A thicker gingival phenotype and higher coronal bone crest were linked to a more coronal gingival margin in the esthetic zone.
