Effect of Alveolar Process and Basal Bone Features on Post-Extraction Dimensional Changes.
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 3 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 evaluate the effect of specific phenotypical and anatomical features of the alveolar process and basal bone on post-extraction dimensional changes. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients requiring the extraction of a single maxillary non-molar tooth were enrolled. A comprehensive panel of baseline anatomical characteristics, including sagittal root position (SRP) class, was recorded. Linear and volumetric bone changes and the need for ancillary bone augmentation (NBA) were assessed after a 14-week healing period.
resultsRecords from 65 patients were included. Facial bone thickness (FBT) ≤ 1 mm was associated with significantly greater dimensional changes and greater NBA compared to sites presenting FBT > 1 mm (88.46% vs. 35.13%; p < 0.002). Bone remodelling and NBA were highest in SRP Class IV (100%), with lower frequencies in Class I (60%) and Class II (43.5%). Sites with roots outside the bony housing showed significantly more remodelling and NBA (89.47% vs. 43.18%; p < 0.001). Sites with a basal bone width narrower than the alveolar processes exhibited significantly greater bone remodelling and a higher prevalence of NBA compared to sites where the basal bone was wider (88.89% vs. 50%; p = 0.09). Socket entrance dimensions, distance from the coronal aspect of the facial bone to adjacent boundaries and root volume showed a comparable trend towards increased dimensional changes and grafting.
conclusionsCertain site-specific features appear to significantly affect post-extraction alveolar ridge remodelling and the subsequent NBA to facilitate implant therapy.
