Alteration of the expression of CD44 [corrected] isoforms in oral epithelia and saliva from patients with oral lichen planus.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucosal disease that cell-mediated immunological mechanisms are involved in pathogenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of CD44 isoforms including CD44s, CD44v5, and CD44v6 in biopsy specimens and saliva from OLP patients. Thirty-one OLP patients and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of CD44 isoforms in oral epithelia, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure levels of salivary CD44 isoforms. Our results demonstrated that expression of CD44v6 in oral epithelia from OLP patients was significantly decreased in comparison to controls (p = 0.021). Levels of salivary CD44s and CD44v5 from OLP patients were significantly higher than those from controls (p = 0.007 and p = 0.002, respectively). In summary, our findings provided additional evidence that the pathological stress, such as chronic inflammation, altered the expression of CD44 isoforms in oral epithelia and saliva of OLP patients.
