Demographics, Clinicopathological Profile of Oral Lichen Planus of South Kerala Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
background
resultsOut of 250 patients, 52% were females and 48% were males. Reticular (n = 145, 58%) and erosive forms (n = 105, 42%) were the two clinical presentations of the lesions that were most consistently observed. The age group of 25-34 years reported the highest number of cases (n = 71, 28.4%). According to the chi-square test, there were statistically highly significant differences between the hyperpigmentation, age, and type of OLP. While 43.2% (n = 108) of cases reported a burning sensation, pain, or soreness, 56.8% (n = 142) of cases were asymptomatic. There were statistically significant differences between the type of OLP and the reported symptoms (p = 0.001). Mild to moderate dysplastic changes were documented in 5.6% during the follow-up period. A successful treatment outcome with topical steroid administration was recorded in the study sample.
