A Unique Presentation of Gingival Melanoacanthoma: Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Melanoacanthoma is a benign, deeply pigmented condition of the oral mucosa characterized by the proliferation of melanocytes and keratinocytes. A 60-year-old male, with no history of systemic diseases or medical treatment, presented with an asymptomatic diffuse pigmentation involving the maxillary and mandibular gingiva. The histopathology of the anomalous pigmented area was analyzed and the dendritic melanocytes expressed positively for Masson-Fontana, S-100, and HMB-45. The clinical and microscopic findings were indicative of melanoacanthoma. Depigmentation with a diode laser was performed in the areas of esthetic concern. A regular periodic screening was done to rule out any alteration in color, size, and shape. A one-year follow-up disclosed no new lesions. The observations noted in this case are rare, and our literature review identified only a single previously documented case of gingival melanoacanthoma in the Indian subpopulation.
