Human papilloma virus as a possible factor in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus.
Article in Dental research journal, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundOral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease. Clinical diagnosis of OLP requires clinical work-up and histologic examination to rule out possible dysplasia and carcinoma. It is possible that oral mucosal viral infections including HPV infection may have a causative role in OLP pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to examine the coincidence of human papilloma virus type 18 and oral lichen planus.
methodsThis study was a case-control study. Twenty nine paraffinized specimens of previously diagnosed oral lichen planus and 14 paraffinized specimens of nonpathogenic mucosa were studied. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analyze used for detection of DNA HPV 18. The data were analyzed with SPSS software and Fisher's exact test was used to find the possible relation between HPV18 infection and oral lichen planus.
resultsNine out of 29 (31.0%) lichen planus samples and one out of 14 (7.1%) controls were HPV 18 positive. No significant correlation (P = 0.128) was observed between HPV18 infection and oral lichen planus.
conclusionAccording to the findings there might be a co-incidence of human papilloma virus type 18 and oral lichen planus.
