Evaluation of the fungiform papillae number in Behçet's disease.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2015. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the number, area, circumference, and circularity of lingual fungiform papillae and taste sensitivity in Behçet's disease (BD) and the correlation with the disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsEighty-six Behçet's patients and 78 healthy control subjects were examined. After taking digital photographs from the tongue, the fungiform papillae evaluations were performed for the right and left tongue tip sites separately. Taste sense was evaluated with an electrogustometer (EG) from the same sites.
resultsThe ANOVA test was used to evaluate the fungiform papillae number difference between BD and control groups, and the difference was statistically significant. The fungiform papillae number was significantly reduced in BD, 37.93% at the left site and 40.13% at the right site compared to controls. There was no significant difference in papillae area, circumference, circularity, and EG measurements between BD and control group.
conclusionAccording to these findings, it is conceivable that the reduction of the fungiform papillae number could be a sign of BD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: BD has different clinical features that are used for the diagnosis. This study provided a new possible clinical feature. Further studies should be carried out to investigate the usability of this new clinical feature for the diagnosis of BD.
