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

Soft tissue augmentation around dental implants is essential for long-term peri-implant health, yet the comparative efficacy of different soft tissue techniques remains unclear. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate changes in keratinized tissue width (KTW), soft tissue thickness (STT) and peri-implant health parameters at 1, 3 and 6 months post-surgery. Results show that FGG significantly outperforms XCM in enhancing keratinized tissue (KT) and improving clinical outcomes such as probing depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP). Both techniques demonstrate effectiveness, but FGG remains the preferred option for achieving optimal peri-implant tissue health. This study advances knowledge by highlighting the superior effectiveness of FGG in soft tissue management around implants.
