De-epithelialized Free Gingival Graft for Gingival Augmentation: A Case Report.
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 is a commonly encountered mucogingival condition that may lead to root exposure, dentinal hypersensitivity, and compromised aesthetics. Various surgical techniques have been proposed for root coverage, among which the de-epithelialized free gingival graft (DFGG) combines the advantages of both free gingival grafts (FGGs) and connective tissue grafts. A 26-year-old male patient presented with gingival recession in relation to mandibular central incisors (31 and 41). An FGG was harvested from the palatal donor site using a scalpel and subsequently de-epithelialized extraorally using a laser to obtain a connective tissue graft. The graft was placed at the recipient site and stabilized with sutures. Healing was uneventful, and a significant reduction in gingival recession was observed, along with an increase in the width of keratinized gingiva and improved aesthetic outcome. Laser-assisted DFGG appears to be a predictable and effective technique for the treatment of gingival recession, providing favorable clinical and aesthetic outcomes.
