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

The application of a dermoscope in the study of mucosal pathologies is increasingly gaining importance. An easy, noninvasive characterization of pathological changes serves as an aid to dermatologists, sometimes even obliviating the need for histopathology. The aim of the present case series was to describe the mucoscopic features of histologically proven oral leukoplakia. Five consecutive cases of histologically proven oral leukoplakia were included for mucoscopy. Polarized mucoscopy shows white-to-pink structureless areas (100%), intervening pink lines (80%), and surface corrugations (60%). The periphery of the lesions showed white clods (100%) and dotted vessels with irregular arrangement (60%).
