Volume-Stable Collagen Matrix as a Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Carrier for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: An Experimental In Vivo Study.
Article in Journal of clinical periodontology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo test the hypothesis that a volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) can serve as an effective rhBMP-2 carrier for bone regeneration while compensating for the volume instability of absorbable collagen sponge (ACS). MATERIALS AND
methods(i) rhBMP-2 release kinetics from VCMX and ACS were measured over 7 days by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (ii) Bilateral sinus augmentations were performed in 15 rabbits using either VCMX or ACS, with or without rhBMP-2. After 4 weeks, radiographic and histological analyses were conducted.
resultsThe overall release patterns between VCMX and ACS did not differ significantly, although VCMX showed a delayed peak release (at 3 h) compared to ACS (at 10 min). Three-dimensional radiographic analysis showed greater volumetric gains in VCMX groups than in ACS groups, regardless of rhBMP-2 loading. Histologically, VCMX/rhBMP-2 group exhibited the largest total augmented area (13.1 ± 2.9 mm
conclusionrhBMP-2-loaded VCMX enhances bone regeneration in sinus augmentation, suggesting that its volume maintenance may contribute to the improved clinical and radiographic outcomes.
