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

backgroundHyalinization is a process of conversion of stromal connective tissue into a homogeneous, acellular translucent material. Nevertheless, hyalinization could provide insights into the biologic behaviour and prognosis of pathological lesions. Few studies with limited sample size have intended to assess the correlation of hyalinization and biologic behaviour in oral lesions.

aimThe current review aims to comprehensively appraise the mechanism of hyalinization in pathological oral hyalinizing lesions (OHL) and its clinical implications with emphasis on differential stains employed.

methodsAn electronic search was performed in the PubMed database (from year 2000-2020) using the keywords "special stains in oral hyalinizing lesions", "significance of hyalinization in oral lesions" and "hyalinization and biologic behaviour". Original research articles analyzing the effect of hyalinization on biologic characteristics of the lesion were evaluated in this review. Narrative review articles that provided insights into the mechanism of hyalinization and maturity of collagen fibers were also considered for analysis.

conclusionThe presence of hyalinization does seem to have a significant effect on the biologic behaviour of pathological lesions. There is substantial scope to further investigate the process of hyalinization on larger samples and its correlation with the aggressive behaviour of OHLs. Special stains and advanced investigations such as immunohistochemistry for stromal markers would define the nature of hyalinized material and validate the correlation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The prediction of the biologic behaviour of a lesion established through assessment of hyalinization would prevent unwanted over or under treatment leading to a better prognosis.
