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

Epstein-Barr virus (+) mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is an uncommon benign lymphoproliferative lesion that develops in immunocompromised patients. We present a special case of EBVMCU located in the peri-implant mucosa and we review the oral cases published to date. An 88-year-old man with no medical history of interest was attended in the dental clinic due to an ulcerated tumor located in the peri-implant mucosa. The lesion showed an atypical lymphoid proliferation, positive for CD3, CD20, CD30, PAX-5, and MUM1. Positive EBV and favorable patient evolution confirmed the final diagnosis of EBVMCU. Oral EBVMCU reports related to immunosenescence mainly develop in the gingiva of advanced age patients. Our case highlights the importance to perform a complete clinicopathological study of all peri-implant lesions. Although most peri-implant pathologies are inflammatory-reactive disorders, sometimes they can also correspond to other entities.
