Comparative evaluation of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access and coronally advanced flap in adjunction with platelet-rich fibrin for maxillary gingival recession - A randomized controlled study.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Gingival recession requires root coverage to address esthetics and dentinal hypersensitivity, prevent root caries and abrasion, and improve plaque control. The coronally advanced flap (CAF) with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is a widely accepted gold standard but is technique sensitive and less predictable. The vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique is a minimally invasive alternative that yields more predictable results and better patient compliance. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a membrane for covering defects is less technique sensitive and improves patient comfort compared to SCTG. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of VISTA and CAF, both combined with PRF, in treating maxillary gingival recession. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial involved 30 sites (15 in each group) in patients with Cairo Results: On comparison of the groups, statistically more significant results in terms of PD, CAL, TAG, VDR, GRW, percentage root coverage, and postsurgical discomfort level were seen in the test group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Both VISTA + PRF and CAF + PRF effectively treat maxillary anterior gingival recession (Cairo
