Oral Verruciform Xanthoma: A Series of 212 Cases and Review of the Literature.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
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
Verruciform xanthoma (VX) of the oral cavity is an uncommon, reactive lesion of unknown etiology. In this study, we present a large series of VX with analysis of demographics, clinical appearance, histologic presentation and extensive review of literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series of oral VX reported to date. Following IRB approval, all cases diagnosed as VX found in the archives of the University of Florida Oral Pathology Biopsy Service (1994-2018) were included. Patient age, gender, location, clinical appearance, clinical impression, and duration of each lesion was collected. A total of 212 cases were included in our database with a mean age of 61 years (range of 9-94), and a female: male ratio of 1.06:1. The most common location in descending order was the gingiva (n = 110, 51.2%), followed by palate (n = 41, 19.3%), buccal mucosa (n = 18, 8.5%), tongue (n = 20, 9.4%), vestibule (n = 13, 6.1%), lip (n = 4, 1.9%), floor of mouth (n = 3, 1.4%), and unspecified (n = 1, 0.5%). The lesions were most frequently pink in color, and most often described as bumpy, rough, verrucoid and/or papillary. Clinical impression in descending order was papillary (n = 67, 31.6%), not specified or unknown (n = 41, 19.3%), hyperkeratosis (n = 24, 11.3%), fibroma (n = 20, 9.4%), leukoplakia (n = 17, 8.0%), dysplastic lesion (n = 13, 6.1%), pyogenic granuloma (n = 7, 3.3%), granulomatous reaction (n = 5, 2.4%), lichen planus, VX (n = 4 each, 2.0%), pigmented, other lesions (n = 3 each, 1.4%), and salivary and periapical lesions (n = 2 each, 0.9%). Three of the lesions were recurrences. The demographics and clinical parameters of this case series were in concordance with that of previously published reports. In our series, only 4 cases were suspected as VX, demonstrating the lack of familiarity clinicians have with this lesion.
