A Rare Case of Plasma Cell Granuloma.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 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
Plasma cell granulomas (PCGs) or inflammatory pseudotumors are nonneoplastic lesions that consist of predominantly antibody-secreting plasma cells and innate immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils. Unlike in multiple myeloma, the plasma cells are polyclonal and present in a spindly fibroblast-rich stromal background. These lesions mainly occur in the lungs; however, they can arise in other organs. PCGs from the gingiva are extremely rare, and a proper diagnosis is crucial to treat these patients further. These tumors have an increased number of plasma cells that are immunoreactive with CD138 and are polyclonal for kappa and lambda light chains, confirming these proliferations' nonneoplastic nature. Surgical resection with clear margins, when possible, is the primary choice of treatment. Radiation and anti-inflammatory steroid therapy are other therapeutic approaches. Critical and careful examination by a pathologist is necessary to rule out plasma cell neoplasms. Here, we report a rare occurrence of gingival PCG in an elderly male.
