Demographic and clinicopathological comparison among oral lichen planus, lichenoid lesions and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia: a retrospective study.
Observational study in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundClinicopathological diagnosis and follow-up of oral lichen planus and leukoplakia are necessary due to its potential for malignant transformation and the need to differentiate it from other lichenoid diseases and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. This study aimed to classify and compare sociodemographic and clinicopathological features among patients with oral lichen planus, oral lichenoid lesions and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
methodsA transversal observational study in which oral leukoplakia and oral lichen planus patients were surveyed at the Oral Pathological Anatomy Service and Applied Biotechnology Laboratory was conducted. Sociodemographic and clinicopathological data were compared for the lesions studied with the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.
resultsAfter classification, 21 oral lichen planus lesions, 34 oral lichenoid lesions and 12 proliferative verrucous leukoplakia lesions were evaluated. Reticular patterns are more characteristic of oral lichen planus and plaque lesions of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. The buccal mucosa was the most affected site in oral lichen planus lesions, and it was bilateral in all patients. Epithelial dysplasia was present in almost all patients with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
conclusionsCompared with oral lichen planus and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, oral lichenoid lesions presented intermediate features. This may delay proliferative verrucous leukoplakia diagnosis.
