Volumetric analysis of root coverage with porcine acellular dermal matrix: Case study.
Article in Clinical advances in periodontics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGingival recession is prevalent and often treated with coronally advanced flap plus connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG). Porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) offers a donor-site-free alternative. Contemporary digital imaging allows minimally invasive, three-dimensional (3D) soft-tissue assessment. This case report quantified 3D soft-tissue changes after PADM-based root coverage using an integrated digital workflow.
methodsA 38-year-old woman presenting with recession-type 2 (RT2) defects on teeth #7, #6, and #5 underwent root coverage with an extended CAF in combination with a PADM. Three-dimensional datasets were obtained at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using intraoral scanning and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). These were processed with image-analysis software to assess volumetric and contour changes over time. Clinical parameters and patient-reported satisfaction (visual analog scale, VAS) were also recorded.
resultsBuccal soft-tissue volume increased from 329.70 mm
conclusionsPADM-assisted root coverage increased gingival thickness and resulted in a stable buccal contour. 3D CT volumetric assessment seems to be a promising method for quantifying long-term changes in regenerated tissues.
