Clinical and Histologic Outcomes of Biologically Oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study 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 evaluate the efficacy of Biologically oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) in minimizing post-extraction ridge modifications compared with unassisted socket healing.
methodsA prospective controlled observational study was conducted involving 30 patients requiring single-rooted upper premolar extractions. Patients were divided into two groups: the test (15 patients), which underwent a ridge preservation procedure combining absorbable collagen sponge in the middle and apical third of the socket and collagenated xenogeneic bone substitute in the most coronal part (BARP), and the control (15 patients), which healed spontaneously. Soft tissue contour changes after 6 months were analyzed using digital impressions. Moreover, histomorphometric analysis of the regenerated tissue was performed in the test group.
resultsBARP significantly reduced post-extractive mucosal ridge modifications compared to the control group. Mean vertical shrinkage at the mid-buccal part of the edentulous site was 1.61 ± 0.61 mm (BARP) vs. 2.51 ± 0.64 mm (control; t-test, df = 28, p < 0.001), and mean horizontal reduction was 3.37 ± 0.63 mm (BARP) vs. 4.34 ± 0.48 mm (control; t-test, df = 28, p < 0.001). Histomorphometric analysis of the regenerated tissue showed 39.7% ± 9.1% newly formed bone with minimal residual graft material (5.0% ± 5.4%).
conclusionBARP technique effectively minimizes post-extractive soft tissue contour modifications and supports natural bone regeneration, resulting in adequate bone dimensions for implant rehabilitation.
