Preparation Prior to Coverage: A Biological Staging Concept for Predictable Root Coverage Using Amniotic Membrane.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gingival recession presents a clinical challenge when keratinized tissue width is limited, even with adequate tissue thickness. This case report describes a staged, biologically driven approach to localized recession in relation to tooth 43. Keratinized tissue was first augmented using a freshly procured amniotic membrane, preserved in glycerol to maintain integrity and antimicrobial properties, treated with penicillin powder prior to surgery, and rinsed with sterile saline to ensure biocompatibility. After one month, a lateral pedicle graft was performed to cover the recession defect. Postoperative evaluation demonstrated a stable soft-tissue architecture with a satisfactory gingival contour. This case emphasizes the value of biologic recipient site preparation in enhancing the predictability and success of periodontal plastic surgery.
