1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Giant-cell fibroma is a localized, benign fibrous mucosal mass, which clinically mimics any other fibroepithelial growth, and its distinction from other lesions is on the basis of its peculiar histopathology. A case of giant-cell fibroma with stroma strewn with brown pigment-laden cells is presented herewith. Immunohistochemical staining aided with histochemical reaction to understand the origin of these cells was carried out. Various mechanisms that explain the presence of melanin granules in reactive lesions of giant-cell fibroma is discussed in the present report.
