Management of leukoplakia of palatal gingiva using free gingival graft.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology. 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
Oral leukoplakia is a frequently encountered oral potentially malignant disorder that, if left untreated, could progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma. Though the tongue and buccal mucosa are the most common sites to be affected, the involvement of palatal gingiva is relatively rare. It is usually associated with high recurrence rates and a higher tendency to undergo malignant transformation. Surgical excision of the lesion is considered the gold-standard treatment strategy. This case report describes a case of oral leukoplakia involving the palatal gingiva in a 71-year-old male having no deleterious oral habits. The lesion was treated using surgical excision, and the defect was repaired using a free gingival graft from the opposite palatal gingiva. Although no recurrence was noted till 2 years following surgery, the patient was advised to undergo regular monitoring.
