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: Knife-edge ridges in posterior mandible present challenges for implant placement due to insufficient horizontal bone width and inadequate keratinized tissue, traditionally requiring secondary donor site surgery with associated morbidity. Case Description: A 46-year-old female with severe mandibular atrophy underwent two-stage reconstruction. First-stage surgery involved harvesting bone blocks from the knife-edge ridge, rotating them 180° counterclockwise, and securing for horizontal augmentation. After 7 months, second-stage surgery included implant placement with platelet-rich fibrin soft tissue augmentation using open-suture technique. Outcomes demonstrated horizontal bone gains of 4.3-4.8 mm, keratinized tissue increase of 2.9 mm, and absolute bone volume gain of 859.86 mm Practical Implications: This novel staged protocol integrates
