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

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has represented a challenge for clinicians in the past 30 years, and the literature has well described many different surgical options such as d-PTFE membranes, titanium grids, or autogenous bone harvested from the posterior mandible. All of the previously mentioned techniques have shown a high rate of complications but, in the last decade, a new membrane made of xenogenic bone was introduced. Most of the publications regarding its application report very few and mild complications. In this article we will suggest a new application using segmented xenogenic bone sheets instead of autogenous bone to correct severe ridge deformity.
