Factors influencing pocket closure in surgically-treated intraosseous defects. A retrospective analysis.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesto evaluate the association between patient- and local- factors and pocket closure (i.e., probing depth, PD, ≤4 mm) following surgical treatment of intraosseous defects with the Single Flap Approach (SFA). MATERIALS &
methodsa retrospective analysis of data from previous studies was conducted on 101 defects treated with SFA alone or in combination with enamel matrix derivative with/without a bovine-derived xenograft. Pocket closure at 12 months was the primary outcome. Age, sex, smoking status, baseline PD, tooth type, depth of the supraosseous component, radiographic depth of the intraosseous component, defect angle, defect morphology, treatment modality were considered as candidate determinants in a bivariate logistic regression analysis. Backward stepwise regression was used to identify the optimal set of factors significantly associated with pocket closure.
results12-month pocket closure occurred in 74.3% of cases. The probability of pocket closure was significantly associated with baseline PD (OR = 0.741, 95%CI: 0.565-0.973; p = 0.031) and defect morphology, with defects classified as "mainly 1-wall" and "mainly 3-wall" showing greater odds for pocket closure compared to "mainly 2-wall" defects (OR = 7.125, p = 0.006; and OR = 5.225, p = 0.006, respectively).
conclusionsWhen performed according to the SFA, regenerative surgical procedures are associated with high probability of pocket closure at 12 months. Intraosseous lesions with deeper pre-surgery PD and/or prevalent 2-wall morphology have lower probability to be closed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Data from the present study may be of use to the clinician who wants to optimize the odds for pocket closure at a deep intraosseous lesion that is being approached according to the SFA.
