Primary oral tuberculosis - A case report.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease which affects the lungs in majority of the cases. Oral manifestations of tuberculosis (TB) are seen both in primary and secondary stages of the disease but are most commonly associated with secondary TB. Primary oral TB is a rare entity and thus may pose a diagnostic challenge. This case reports isolated primary TB of the lower lip associated with an intraoral long-standing nonhealing ulcer present in a 12-year-old child. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological, hematological, and radiographic investigations. The lesion resolved with anti-tubercular treatment regimen. The case highlights the importance of clinician awareness toward oral lesions, which may present themselves without any symptoms and/or signs of systemic disease.
