Esthetic and patient-reported outcomes in immediate implants with adjunctive surgical procedures to increase soft tissue thickness/height: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Periodontology 2000, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
To explore the impact of soft tissue augmentation procedures during immediate implant placement (IIP) on clinician-assessed esthetic outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase until March 2024. Two independent reviewers selected randomized and controlled clinical trials with ≥12 months follow-up, evaluating IIP in the premolar-to-premolar area with or without STA. Primary outcomes included esthetic assessments by clinicians (Pink Aesthetic Score, Implant Crown Aesthetic Index and mid-facial soft tissue recession) as well as PROMs. Secondary outcomes comprised post-operative morbidity, soft tissue stability, and interproximal bone changes. Data extraction was done by two independent reviewers, and the risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2.0 or ROBINS-I. Sixteen publications were included. The only relevant finding was that soft tissue augmentation significantly reduced midfacial soft tissue recession (n = 4, WMD = 0.38; 95% CI (0.15, 0.61)). No significant differences could be found between grafting and no grafting regarding the other clinician-assessed esthetic outcomes or for PROMs. Soft tissue augmentation during IIP reduces midfacial soft tissue recession. However, no other effects could be found based on clinician-assessed or patient-reported esthetic outcomes.
