Moldable and Particulate Bone Material in Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThis study aimed to determine possible histological and radiological differences in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), using moldable bone versus particulate bone.
methodsAfter tooth extraction, 39 patients (40 teeth) were randomized (1:1) to receive ARP using moldable bone materials (SBX group) or particulate bone materials (PBX group). An absorbable collagen membrane was placed over the graft material and the surgical site was sutured. Cone-beam computed tomography was taken immediately and 5 months after ARP. Bone core samples from the implantation site were obtained for histomorphometric analysis 5 months after ARP.
resultsForty-six patients were screened and 39 of them completed the study. However, one patient who received split-mouth treatment was excluded, resulting in data from 38 patients being analyzed. In radiological evaluation, the changes in midbuccal alveolar bone height at 5 months were -0.753 ± 0.112 and -1.018 ± 0.111 mm in the SBX group and PBX groups, respectively (F = 2.895; p = 0.098; mean difference [MD] 0.265; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.051 to 0.582). Changes in the horizontal ridge width were measured at three levels (-1, -3, and -5 mm) below the most coronal aspect of the crest and showed a decrease in both groups, with no significant differences between the groups. The percent new bone area of the SBX group (39.156 ± 2.505) was significantly different from that of the PBX group (22.749 ± 2.476) (F = 22.171; p < 0.001; 95% MD 16.407; CI = 9.333 to 23.481). The percent residual material area was significantly lower in the SBX group (8.973 ± 2.211) compared to the PBX group (15.633 ± 2.186), with an F-statistic of 4.687 and p-value = 0.037 (MD -6.660; 95% CI = -12.904 to -0.415). The percent connective tissue area was 49.743 ± 4.199 and 56.657 ± 4.151 for the groups (F = 1.401; p = 0.245; MD -6.914; 95% CI = -18.773 to 4.944), respectively.
conclusionRadiological and histological results showed that use of moldable bone can achieve similar ARP parameters as those achieved by particulate bone.
