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 creeping attachment after soft tissue augmentation surgery in areas with gingival recession. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study observed sites of gingival recession who underwent soft tissue augmentation surgery. Changes in gingival recession depth (RD), keratinized tissue height (KTH) and gingival thickness (GT) were measured at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. The changes in creeping attachment (CA) and mean root coverage (MRC) were calculated, and the relationship between the increase in GT and CA was analyzed.

resultsA total of 58 sites in 24 patients were observed. At 1 month postoperatively, RD, KTH and GT improved in all patients with CA of 0.66 ± 0.40 mm and MRC of 22.9 ± 13.9%. All indicators further improved from 3 to 12 months post-surgery. There was a positive correlation between the increase in GT and CA from 1 to 6 months post-surgery.

conclusionSignificant changes in RD, KTH and GT were observed 1 month after soft tissue augmentation surgery, with all indicators stabilizing by 3 months. The increase of GT was positively correlated with CA, and the phenomenon of creeping attachment was still observed 1 year after the surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The study identified changes in creeping attachment after soft tissue augmentation surgery to help clinicians understand this phenomenon better.
