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

Intraoral melanoacanthoma is a rare, reactive pigmented lesion that is mostly seen in black individuals with a tendency to occur more frequently in younger females. The color of melanoacanthoma may vary from brown to black, and it is commonly seen as a solitary lesion in the buccal mucosa. This lesion requires no treatment, and no malignant potential has been observed to date. The clinical presentation of multifocal oral melanoacanthoma (MOMA) (the rate of growth and the recurrence) is usually diagnostic. On the other hand, solitary oral melanoacanthoma might be difficult to diagnose, and a biopsy should be performed and examined by a well-trained oral pathologist. Here, we report two cases of MOMA with an unusual location in one case.
