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

Objective: Proper diagnosis plays a key role in the treatment and prognosis of all diseases. Although histopathological diagnosis is still known as the gold standard, final diagnosis becomes difficult unless precise clinical descriptions are obtained. So, this study aimed to evaluate the concordance of the clinical and histopathological diagnoses of all oral and maxillofacial biopsy specimens in a 12-year duration. Materials and Methods: Archive files and clinical findings related to 3001 patients who had been referred to the Department of Oral Pathology during a 12-year period were reviewed. The recorded information in files included age, sex, lesion's location, clinical and histopathological diagnoses, and specialty of dentists. Results: Out of 3001 cases included and reviewed in this study, 2167 cases (72.2%) were consistent between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses. Age, sex, and clinician's specialty were indicated to have no significant effect on diagnosis ( Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the consistency of clinical and histopathological diagnoses was three times more than their inconsistency, and the accuracy of the clinicians was largely acceptable.
