Burning Mouth Syndrome Induced by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterized as the sensation of burning in the tongue or any other area of the oral mucosa without a medical or dental cause. BMS's pathophysiology is poorly understood and may be caused by its association with various factors, particularly with antihypertensive or psychotropic medicines. Although BMS is a relatively common intraoral disorder in the dental field, emergency physicians rarely recognize it. We report a 53-year-old Japanese woman who presented to our ED with a three-week history of a strange taste and burning tongue. The patient had poor control of hypertension, captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, was added three weeks before presentation. We discontinued her ACE inhibitor and changed her medication to a beta-blocker. After two weeks, her symptoms improved. Emergency physicians must be aware that ACE inhibitors play some roles in the pathogenesis of BMS. The correct diagnosis of the condition depends on recognizing the disease and improving the quality of life.
