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

Extensive gingival recession in the mandibular anterior region with diastema poses both functional and aesthetic challenges, where conventional free gingival grafts (FGG) often fail to provide adequate results in cases of combined vertical and horizontal tissue deficiencies. Hencce, an inverted T-shaped FGG design has been introduced, enabling simultaneous root coverage and interdental tissue augmentation. The technique involves a vertical graft segment to address recession depth and a horizontal arm to bridge the diastema, thereby enhancing stability, vascularization, and esthetic harmony. In this case series, all patients showed favorable outcomes with significant root coverage, increased width of keratinized tissue, and improved gingival contours. These results highlight the inverted T-shaped FGG as a predictable and esthetically satisfying option for managing complex recession defects complicated by diastema.
