Comparative Efficacy of Two Hemostatic Agents in Post-Extraction Bleeding Control Following Mandibular Third Molar Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

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
Adequate bleeding control is crucial in surgical procedures. Surgifoam and Hemospon are absorbable hemostatic sponges made from lyophilized porcine gelatin, commonly used in oral surgery. This clinical study aimed to evaluate bleeding control, soft tissue healing, and postoperative pain in dental sockets after mandibular third molar extractions filled with Surgifoam and Hemospon. Twenty-five volunteers requiring extractions of both left and right lower third molars participated in this randomized, double-blind, split-mouth study. After extraction, each socket was randomly filled with Hemospon (test group) or Surgifoam (control group). Postoperative pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on days 1, 2, 3, and 7. Bleeding at 30 and 60 min (Souto and Mühlemann scales) and soft tissue healing at 7 and 14 days (Brancaccio scale) were evaluated using Fisher's exact test. Bleeding scores at 30 min predominantly showed no bleeding (score 0) in 80% of participants using Surgifoam, compared to 60% in the Hemospon group. No significant differences in bleeding were observed between groups (
