Use of Diode Laser for Surgical Removal of Pyogenic Granuloma of the Lower Lip in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND A pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory exophytic lesion that can occur in the oral cavity. Numerous factors are involved in the etiology of the lesion and can lead to the tissue proliferation underlying the lesion's characteristic appearance. The main treatment is surgical excision with careful curettage of the surrounding tissues. The use of a laser has been proposed because it enables performing deep and precise incisions with better hemostasis and less invasive procedures with less discomfort to patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible advantages of using a diode laser in the surgical treatment of pyogenic granuloma, particularly in the management of a pediatric patient. CASE REPORT A swelling in the lower lip of an 11-year-old female patient was analyzed. After several evaluations, a 980-nm diode laser in continuous wave mode was chosen for excision of the lesion. The lesion was excised successfully with a diode laser as a conservative method that was nonstressful for the pediatric patient. CONCLUSIONS Among the techniques for surgical excision of a lesion, the use of a diode laser has the following advantages: less invasiveness, absence of intra- and postoperative discomfort and pain, effective hemostasis with better control of bleeding, absence of scarring, better postoperative management, and greater patient compliance.
