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

Periodontal plastic surgery is constantly seeking alternatives that can replace the use of connective tissue grafts, due to the need for a second surgical area and the possibility of reducing the morbidity of the procedure and providing better comfort to the patient. The use of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in the treatment of gingival recessions (GRs) has been studied and its potential has been observed. We report a clinical case of a 49-year-old female patient, a non-smoker, with hypothyroidism and multiple gingival recessions (GRs) in the anterior teeth classified as Miller Class I or Cairo Type 1 (RT1-), which are not associated with a non-carious cervical lesion. The patient presented with aesthetic discomfort and dentin hypersensitivity. Root coverage of the recessions was performed with L-PRF membranes associated with a coronally advanced flap. After 8 months of follow-up, we observed complete coverage of the exposed roots, thickness keratinized gingiva gain, and patient satisfaction with gingival esthetics and dentin hypersensitivity.
