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
objectiveTo assess whether root surface coverage after periodontal plastic surgery is associated with significant dentin hypersensitivity suppression. MATERIALS AND
methodsIncluded patients presented a significant dentin hypersensitivity (Schiff score ≥ 2) and gingival recession. Treatment consisted of periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage. At 6 months, significant dentin hypersensitivity prevalence was assessed. Surgical outcomes were evaluated by measuring the percentage of root surface coverage and the height of root coverage, both in pixels and millimeters, in two groups: teeth without significant dentin hypersensitivity and those with persistent significant dentin hypersensitivity.
resultsSignificant dentin hypersensitivity prevalence was 6.8% (95% CI [1.0%-12.5%]), with suppression in 93.2% of treated teeth 6 months postoperatively. Complete root surface coverage (CRSCpix) was achieved in 69.6% without dentin hypersensitivity, significantly higher than 0.0% in teeth with dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.0041). Complete root height coverage in pix (CRHCpix) was 63.8% without dentin hypersensitivity versus (vs) 20.0% with DH (p = 0.0737), while complete root height coverage in mm (CRHCmm) was 76.8% without DH vs. 40.0% with dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.1033). Mean root surface coverage in pixels (RSCpix) was 88.3% ± 19.7% without DH, significantly higher than 62.6% ± 28.2% with dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.0031). Mean root height coverage in pixels (RHCpix) was 83.2% ± 28.3% without DH versus 68.8% ± 35.1% with dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.0573), while mean root height coverage in millimeters (RHCmm) was 88.2% ± 24.7% without dentin hypersensitivity versus 73.3% ± 30.8% with dentin hypersensitivity (p = 0.0503). No significant differences were found for height-based root coverage in pixels (RHCpix) and millimeters (RHCmm).
conclusionSuccess of surgical root coverage, particularly the amount of root surface covered, could be a key factor in dentin hypersensitivity suppression.
