Contamination potential of non-resorbable membranes intended for exposure in the oral cavity during regenerative procedures - In vitro study.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundSome non-resorbable membranes are indicated to be left exposed in the oral cavity during regeneration procedures. Given the frequency or indication of exposure of these membranes in the oral cavity, it is worth studying their pattern of contamination, which may lead to undesirable clinical results. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate and compare microbial contamination among non-resorbable membranes intended for exposure in the oral cavity during regenerative procedures.
methodsSamples of non-resorbable membranes were used: Bone Heal
resultsThe membranes showed similar contamination values, with the BH membrane being the least contaminated and the L membrane the most contaminated (p = 0.005). The membranes presented surfaces with different patterns and designs, also showing different levels of contamination that seem to be related to surface characteristics and composition.
conclusionAll studied membranes intended for exposure in the oral cavity became contaminated, showing different patterns, with membrane BH exhibiting the lowest contamination.
