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

introductionVerruciform xanthoma (VX) is an uncommon benign lesion with the subepithelial accumulation of foamy histiocytes and superficial papillary proliferations with a bright orange hue. This lesion exhibits an oral region predilection. Its clinical differential diagnosis includes verrucous leukoplakia, verrucous carcinoma, squamous papilloma, verruca vulgaris, condyloma accuminatum, squamous cell carcinoma, and fibroepithelial polyp. CASE REPORT: This report presents a case of VX of the ventral surface of the tongue afflicting a 33-year-old otherwise healthy male.

conclusionThis case report can be valuable as a consequence of VX rarity and the similarity of its clinical features to papillary lesions. A biopsy is required for its definite diagnosis particularly when it occurs at sites with a high-risk of squamous cell carcinoma development, such as the lateral border and ventral surface of the tongue.
