Scoring systems for Oral Lichen Planus used by differently experienced raters.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04652739 (Evaluation of Lycopene in the Treatment of Erosive Oral Lichen Planus), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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

Abstract
backgroundScoring systems have been widely used to evaluate the severity and activity of oral lichen planus (OLP). The aim of the present study was to compare two existing (one modified) scoring systems in the evaluation of OLP severity and correlation with pain. Three differently experienced raters were involved. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutive patients with OLP were assessed for pain using the Visual Analogue Scale and examined at 10 intraoral sites before starting (T0) and three weeks after (T1) steroid therapy (Clobetasol). Three differently experienced raters evaluated photographs using two scoring systems designated White-Erosive-Atrophic (WEA) modified from an older WEA system (WEA-MOD) and Reticular-erythematous-Ulcerative (REU) systems. WEA-MOD Kendall's W and interclass correlation coefficient were calculated and correlation between REU/WEA-MOD and pain was calculated using Spearman coefficient.
resultsMost patients showed lesions on buccal mucosa (85-93,5%) and maxillary/mandibular gingivae (31,8-31,2%), predominantly reticular. At T0, Kendall-W coefficients of 0.89 and 0.74 were obtained for the REU and WEA respectively. At T1, Kendall-W coefficients of 0.83 and 0.58 were obtained for the REU and WEA respectively. Interclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.87 to 0.90 for REU and from 0.58 to 0.87 for WEA. REU and WEA scores significantly decreased after therapy (p<0.000) as well as VAS (p<0.05). REU score showed correlation with VAS.
conclusionAll the raters achieved comparable measures using REU whereas WEA and WEA-MOD seem less reproducible. REU seems to correlate to disease activity and pain.
