Serum Cortisol Levels in Lichen Planus: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of dermatology. 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
Lichen planus (LP) is an autoimmune, mucocutaneous, T-cell mediated chronic inflammatory disease that involves the oral mucosa. The prevalence of LP is 0.04-2% in general population with a female predilection. Patients with skin lesions also manifest oral lesions predominantly and about 25% present with only oral lesions. The aim of the systematic review is to analyze the serum cortisol levels in LP patients to elucidate the role of cortisol in pathogenesis of the lesion. A comprehensive search was done using electronic data bases such as PUBMED, EMBASE, SCIENCE DIRECT, COCHRANE, GOOGLE, manual search, and back references of the articles were extracted. A total of seven relevant articles were reviewed and analyzed. Electronic database and manual search identified 55 articles. Out of which, 33 were excluded after reading titles and removing duplication and 23 studies were evaluated in detail after reading the abstract and full text. A final of seven studies were included based on the inclusion criteria to meet the research question. All the studies analyzed the serum cortisol levels in LP patients and also in healthy subjects. Within the limitations of this review, it can be inferred that Cortisol is an established stress hormone and Serum cortisol estimation could be an important indicator in identifying susceptible oral lichen planus patients.
