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
We present the case of a 13-year-old girl who developed numerous gingival masses that recurred after two prior resections. Following the initial resection as a child, she reported that there was a period of resolution for several years before recurrence as a teenager. After the second resection, the masses recurred after 4 months. The lesions obscured the majority of her dentition and interfered with speech, eating, and oral hygiene. The patient underwent staged resection of the masses, and the wounds were allowed to heal by secondary intention. The histopathologic findings of the specimens were consistent with a diagnosis of peripheral ossifying fibroma, which is unusual as these are generally solitary lesions. We believe that this case brings attention to an underrecognized and atypical presentation of peripheral ossifying fibroma, and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multicentric gingival masses.
