Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Phenotype Remodeling Following Peri-Implantitis Surgery: A Prospective Profilometric Analysis.
Article in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 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
aimTo characterize longitudinal changes in peri-implant soft tissue phenotype following surgical therapy of peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-one patients with superimposable intraoral scan datasets at four timepoints-pre-operative (T0), intra-operative (T1), 3-month (T2), and 12-month (T3) follow-up-were included. Soft tissue parameters including mean mucosal thickness (mMT), supracrestal tissue height (STH), keratinized mucosal area, and volumetric shrinkage were assessed. Clinical parameters, including probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), were recorded at T0, T2, and T3. Treatment success was defined using composite clinical criteria at 12 months.
resultsSignificant reductions in mMT, STH, and keratinized mucosal area were observed over 12 months in both successful and non-successful treatment groups. mMT decreased from 1.45 mm to 0.36 mm in the successful group and from 2.83 mm to 1.38 mm in the non-successful group. STH converged to approximately 3 mm in both groups at T3. Keratinized mucosal area also decreased over time, with no significant between-group difference (p = 0.721). The most pronounced changes occurred during the first 3 months, with volumetric shrinkage of 30.2 and 31.6 mm
conclusionsSurgical therapy of peri-implantitis resulted in significant reductions of soft tissue phenotype, and baseline keratinized mucosal area was positively associated with residual mMT at 12 months. No statistically significant association was observed between the magnitude of soft tissue shrinkage and clinical outcomes.
