Role of Physiotherapy in HPV Proven Cases of Oral Submucous Fibrosis.
Review in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: To assess the role of physiotherapy in human papillomavirus (HPV) proven cases of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Materials and Methods: Overall, 100 patients got recruited. Only histopathologic confirmed cases of OSMF were enrolled. Purified DNA of tissue blocks was quantified by spectrophotometry. Prevalence of HPV was evaluated. The participants got randomized into 2 cohorts: HPV positive cases and HPV negative cases. Physiotherapy was done and outcome was done and outcome was assessed and compared. Assessment of results was done by SPSS software followed by statistical evaluation. Results: HPV was seen in 80% of the patients. Mean mouth opening pretreatment and postphysiotherapy among patients with HPV positive status was 26.31 mm and 30.12 mm, respectively. Mean mouth opening pretreatment and postphysiotherapy among patients with HPV negative status was 25.11 mm and 29.74 mm, respectively. Nonsignificant results were obtained while comparing the outcome of physiotherapy among HPV positive and negative groups. Conclusion: Outcome of physiotherapy among OSMF patients is independent of HPV status.
