Phagocytosis of mast cell granules by fibroblasts of the human gingiva.

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
Mast cell granules have been detected ultrastructurally within the cytoplasm of fibroblasts in fibrous hyperplastic lesion of the human gingiva. This finding is interpreted as phagocytosis of mast cell granules by fibroblasts. It is estimated that phagocytosis of mast cell granules occurred in four to six per cent of the fibroblasts. The result of present study suggests that mast cells play some role in fibroblast activity not only in animals as reported previously, but also in human connective tissue.
