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

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive tool that provides real-time microscopic images and relatively high-resolution tissue images. This technique provides a link between clinical examination and histopathology. RCM has been used to detect skin diseases and has also recently been applied to diseases of the oral mucosa. The present study aimed to explore the features of oral lichen planus (OLP) using RCM. A total of 47 patients with OLP exhibiting a reticular pattern, were included in the present study. The lesion sites and healthy adjacent sites were examined using
