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: Gingiva can be afflicted by several pathological entities apart from gingivitis and periodontitis. There have been limited number of studies on gingival lesions, especially from Thailand. Aim: To analyze the prevalence and distribution of biopsied gingival lesions from Chulalongkorn and Rangsit Dental Schools, Thailand. Material and Methods: Biopsy records of the participating institutions from 1995 to 2020 were reviewed for gingival lesions. The demographic data, site of lesions and diagnoses were collected. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: From a total of 16,207 biopsies, 1,589 cases (10.2%) were diagnosed in the category of gingival lesions. The mean age ± SD of the patients was 42.3 ± 18.6 years with the highest prevalence being in the fourth decade of life (17.4%). A male-to-female ratio was 0.48:1. The most common location was the posterior mandible (27.4%). Regarding the type of gingival lesions, non-neoplastic lesions (88.5%) outnumbered neoplastic lesions (11.5%). The most common lesion was pyogenic granuloma, followed by irritation fibroma and peripheral ossifying fibroma. Among the neoplastic lesions, squamous cell carcinoma was the most prevalent lesion followed by papilloma and lymphoma. Conclusions: Gingival lesions mostly occur in the fourth decade of life and have a predilection for female patients. The majority of the lesions are located in the posterior mandible. Non-neoplastic lesion, especially the reactive subtype, is the most prevalent group and pyogenic granuloma is the most common gingival lesion. Data from this study represent biopsied gingival lesions from Thailand which may be different from those of other countries.
