Double-Vestibular Incision Tunnel Technique With Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Connective Tissue Graft for Mandibular Anterior Gingival Recession: A Case Series.
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 (GR), also known as the migration of the gingival margin in an apical direction beyond the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), is not merely an esthetic problem. It may also cause cervical lesions, increased susceptibility to root-surface caries, hypersensitivity, and compromised periodontal health. These defects can be multifactorial and often occur more commonly in the mandibular anterior region. Due to the technique sensitivity of standard approaches, there is a growing inclination towards minimally invasive techniques for managing multiple GR defects, especially in this area. Two systematically healthy male patients, aged 39 and 45 years, reported with multiple recession-type (RT) 1 and RT2 gingival recessions in the mandibular anterior region. Both cases underwent the novel double-vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (double-VISTA) technique with placement of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), respectively. Double-VISTA, along with PRF or SCTG, proved to be a reliable procedure for the management of multiple GR defects in the mandibular anterior region. Both cases showed excellent improvements in clinical parameters. Within the limitations of the case series, PRF may serve as an effective substitute for SCTG in the double-VISTA approach. However, further larger-sample-size studies are required to confirm its sustainability and predictability.
