Perceptual distortion of the tongue by lingual nerve block and topical application of capsaicin in healthy women.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to examine reports of perceptual distortion evoked by transient deafferentation and burning pain as models of aspects of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). MATERIALS AND
methodsSixteen healthy women took part in three experimental sessions that included exposure to lingual nerve block, capsaicin, and control substance. In each session, reported perceptual distortion and mechanical detection threshold (MDT) were assessed at four areas (the tongue, lower front teeth, lower lip, and right thumb) before and at 5, 15, 30 min and 1 and 3 h after the injection or application. A numerical rating scale (NRS) and a template matching procedure were used to quantify the perceptual distortions.
resultsThere was a significantly higher MDT on the tongue during the lingual nerve block session at 5 min up until 1 h, with the perceived tongue size significantly increased at 5, 15, and 30 min and at 1 h compared to baseline (P < 0.05). Although the perceived size determined by the NRS scores during the capsaicin session was significantly larger for the lower lip at 5 min compared to baseline (P < 0.001), there were no significant effects on the MDT or the perceived sizes for the tongue, lower front teeth, or right thumb at any of the time points.
conclusionsPerceptual distortions of the tongue may be influenced by non-nociceptive somatosensory changes rather than nociceptive activity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The perceptual distortion of the tongue was investigated with models of aspects of BMS and may have implications for future studies in clinical populations.
