Intraoral Involvement in Linear Scleroderma En Coup De Sabre: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Localized scleroderma is a connective tissue disorder that causes excessive collagen deposition and skin fibrosis. It can be subdivided into morphea and linear scleroderma. En coup de sabre (ECDS) is a rare variant of linear scleroderma typically found among children. It is usually treated with methotrexate and corticotherapy in addition to folic acid supplements. To date, few cases of ECDS have been reported with oral involvement. This case report discusses a seven-year-old girl with linear scleroderma ECDS who was referred to the dental clinic to evaluate muscular hypotrophy on the floor of the mouth. Upon clinical and radiographic examination, the patient had hypotrophied mylohyoid muscle, reduced alveolar bone height on the affected side, and a deviated midline to the affected side as well. Furthermore, the patient was classified as having a high caries risk. After consultation with the primary physician regarding treatment modalities and options, the patient completed her comprehensive dental treatment at the Dental Department at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
