1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Numerous changes in the oral cavity have been associated with COVID-19 infection, including the appearance of aphthous-like lesions. However, the precise relationship between COVID-19 and aphthous-like lesions remains unclear and poorly explained. We present the case of a 34-year-old man with no prior medical conditions who developed aphthous-like lesions three days after the onset of the COVID-19 infection. Remarkably, the patient had experienced similar aphthous-like lesions two years earlier, also within the first three days of COVID-19 infection. He had no history of aphthous-like lesions before or between these two mild courses of COVID-19 infection. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and antiseptics, resulting in the complete resolution of the oral lesions. Given the limited evidence currently available, this case report highlights a potential direct association between COVID-19 infection and the development of aphthous-like lesions.
