The Accuracy of Clinical Diagnosis in Biopsied Premalignant and Malignant Oral Lesions.

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
Objectives: Due to the importance of clinical impression in accurate final diagnosis of oral pathologic lesions, this study evaluated the agreement rate between clinical and histopathological diagnosis in of oral premalignant (PML) and malignant lesions, over a period of 22 years. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective and cross-sectional study, 861 cases were reviewed. Patients' clinical data, type of biopsy, clinical appearance of the lesion, as well as clinical impression and histopathological diagnosis were noted using the archived medical files. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used for analyzing the data. Results: Overall, the agreement rate between histopathological and clinical diagnoses was 71.9%. This rate was 71.8% in PML and 75.7% in malignant lesions. The highest agreement among all lesions was found in OLP, in the mouth floor and by oral medicine specialists. Conclusion: The results showed a relatively high agreement rate between clinical and histopathologic diagnosis of PML and malignant lesions. Clinical presentation, site and type of biopsy, as well as clinicians' specialty were associated with this rate. More education, careful clinical examination, and more cooperation between the surgeon and pathologist are necessary for accurate diagnosis and management.
