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: The aim of the study was to evaluate the dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge in postextraction sockets filled with 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) gel covered with a collagen membrane. Materials and Methods: This study is a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. A total of 30 postextraction sockets of single-root teeth of 15 patients were randomly allocated into two groups: (a) socket filling with 1.2% ATV gel and covered with an absorbable collagen membrane ( Results: Two months after extraction, dimensional changes in height ( Conclusion: Although 1.2% ATV gel increased lamellar bone formation and reduced dimensional changes in postextraction sockets, the differences were not significant compared with the control group.
