1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: To compare the volume stability of guided bone regeneration (GBR) on peri-implant bone dehiscence defects during flap closure using a novel bioresorbable device with a deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) or an L-shaped DBBM with 10% collagen (DBBM-C). Methods: A bioresorbable device was designed and printed using a medical-grade polyglycolide-colactide copolymer (PGLA). Twenty peri-implant box-shaped bone defects were created in 10 pig mandibles. GBR procedures were performed with: device (device + DBBM + collagen membrane) or L-shape (L-shaped DBBM-C + collagen membrane + fixation pins). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were carried out prior and after wound closure. The horizontal thickness of the augmentation at the buccal implant shoulder, procedure duration, and difficulty of each GBR procedure were recorded. Results: No statistically significant differences for the horizontal thickness of the augmentation at the buccal implant shoulder were obtained ( Conclusion: GBR with the device in combination with DBBM and a collagen membrane led to a similar amount of horizontal thickness of the augmentation as an L-shaped DBBM-C with a collagen membrane and fixation pins. The procedure with the device was significantly faster and easier for the clinician.
