Local application of 0.8% hyaluronic acid gel as an adjunct to minimally invasive nonsurgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects-A randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of periodontal research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel application as an adjunct to minimally invasive nonsurgical treatment (MINST) in intrabony defects ≥3 mm.
methodsA total of 36 patients were included and randomly assigned to two groups: (a) MINST + HA (test; n = 17) and (b) MINST (control, n = 19). Subgingival 0.8% HA gel was applied in intrabony defects of test group and repeated 4 weeks following MINST protocol. Clinical measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival recession (GR) were recorded at baseline and repeated at 3 and 6 months. Radiographic evaluation was performed at baseline and 6 months.
resultsTest group showed significantly greater reduction in PD and gain in CAL at 3 months compared to baseline than that of controls (p < .05), but the changes (Δ) at 6 months compared to baseline did not differ between the groups (p > .05). Although, both groups showed statistically significant GR in all evaluated time periods (p < .05), control group showed higher ΔGR than that of test group (p < .05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of radiographic defect fill/bone gain (p > .05).
conclusionsThe additional use of 0.8% HA gel in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects did not provide additional benefits in clinical and radiographic parameters. On the other hand, GR measurements showed favorable results in the test group.
