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

Gingiva is one of the common sites for many reactive, benign and malignant lesions. Localized gingival overgrowths usually present with a wide variety of clinical and histopathological features, and it will create a challenge for proper diagnosis. We report a case of a 48-year-old male patient with a slow-growing swelling on the lower anterior gingiva, extending to the floor of the mouth. A differential diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma or salivary gland neoplasm was considered. The lesion was diagnosed as clear cell variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour after the histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of multiple biopsy specimens from different sites of the lesion. Clear cell variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour is a very rare, aggressive variant of CEOT which demands proper clinicopathologic and radiographic examination for diagnosis. It also highlights the necessity for multiple biopsies in case of larger gingival lesions.
