Minimally Invasive Excision of an Oral Lipoma of the Upper Lip Using a 980nm Diode Laser: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lipomas of the upper lip are among the rarest adipose tissue neoplasms in the oral cavity. The standard treatment for lipomas involves surgical removal, which can be performed using conventional or laser techniques. This case report discusses a 71-year-old male patient with swelling on the left side of his upper lip, clinically diagnosed as an oral lipoma. The lesion was surgically removed under local anesthesia using a combination of diode laser surgery and a blunt scalpel. This approach facilitated the complete removal of the lesion with reduced operating time, minimal damage to surrounding tissues, and uneventful postoperative healing. Diode laser surgery for benign lipomas presents an effective alternative to traditional methods. The precision and minimal tissue damage it offers are particularly beneficial in aesthetic areas, such as the lips.
