Effect of Cortical Block Allograft Tenting Pins for Horizontal Bone Augmentation: A Case Series.

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
objectiveThe aim of this pilot case study was to evaluate the effect of horizontal bone augmentation using cortical block allograft absorbable tenting pins (ATP) in the context of guided bone regeneration (GBR). CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Three patients requiring implant placement with simultaneous horizontal bone augmentation were treated with a total of six ATPs across four bone augmentation sites. Freeze-dried bone allograft combined with an absorbable small intestinal submucosa membrane was used to facilitate bone augmentation. The treatment process was uneventful, with no reported instances of wound dehiscence, infection, or pin loosening. Cone-beam computed tomography performed 5 months postoperatively showed an average horizontal bone gain of 5.24 ± 0.95 mm at the ATP sites, with an average bone resorption of 0.55 ± 0.68 mm compared to immediate postoperative measurement, resulting in a volume retention rate of 94.6%.
conclusionBased on the findings, GBR using ATPs is a feasible approach to achieve predictable horizontal bone gain.
