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

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a prevalent T-cell mediated inflammatory-immune disease with uncertain etiology. Recently, there is emerging evidence suggesting that oral bacteria may exert a prominent role in the onset and development of OLP. They might promote the initiation and progression of OLP by disrupting the oral epithelia, invading the lamina propria, stimulating pro-inflammatory cytokines production and inducing immune dysfunction. In this review, we will focus on the possible mechanisms of oral bacteria contributing to occurrence and development of OLP, and provide new insights into the bacteria-related diagnosis, prevention and treatment strategies for OLP.
