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

backgroundOral tongue squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent cancer of the oral cavity. To date, the mainstay management for carcinoma in situ of the oral cavity is the surgical radical removal of the neoplastic tis-sue. This paper describes a new approach in the management of an in situ carcinoma of the tongue margin, treated surgically by the use of Nd:YAG laser, the application of cross-liked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) gel and the placement of a resorbable porcine pericardium membrane (PPM). CASE PRESENTATION: The case involves a 49-years old male patient with no history of smoking and alcohol use, who presented a non-homogeneous leukoplakia of the right tongue border. The biopsy revealed high-grade lichenoid dysplasia, corresponding to severe epithelial dysplasia or carcinoma in situ (Tis), characterized by full-thickness dysplasia without stromal invasion.

conclusionsThe case shows that the combined use of Neodimium laser surgery, xHyA gel and PPM is a viable option for promoting soft tissue regeneration in the oral cavity, enabling excellent clinical results in terms of healing medium-sized surgical defects. In addition, compared with other options for the reconstruction of surgical defects of the tongue, the clinical use of the association between these two materials has several biological advantages due to the absence of donor sites and high patient tolerability.
