Increasing Width of Attached Gingiva Using Modified Apically Repositioned Flap Technique Combined With Platelet-Rich Fibrin: 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
Adequate attached gingiva is cardinal for periodontal health maintenance. It helps to prevent apical migration of the gingival margin and serves as a stable barrier against plaque accumulation and plaque-induced inflammation of the gingiva. To increase attached gingiva, many techniques have been used. The modified apically repositioned flap (MARF) technique is considered one of the simplest methods to increase attached gingiva. In this technique, a partial-thickness flap is elevated using a single horizontal incision and then repositioned apically, which results in the exposure of the periosteum. This exposed periosteum may cause postoperative discomfort to the patient. To overcome this, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is placed over the exposed periosteum to promote healing and reduce postoperative discomfort. This case presentation addresses the amelioration of the width of the attached gingiva using MARF combined with PRF.
