A Case Report of Recalcitrant, Extensive Multifocal Epithelial Hyperplasia Treated by Electrocauterization.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia is a very rare, benign, contagious disease of the oral mucosa caused by infection with a specific genotype of human papillomavirus. It presents with asymptomatic, smooth-surfaced papules or nodules in the mouth of children and adults. In many cases of multifocal epithelial hyperplasia, a "wait-and-see" approach may be sufficient. However, more aggressive treatments, such as destructive modalities, may be necessary for extensive lesions. Multiple destructive modalities have been used in the treatment of multifocal epithelial hyperplasia with variable results; here we report the significant effect of electrocautery in clearing widespread mucosal lesions of multifocal epithelial hyperplasia in a 15-year-old male patient who had multiple sessions of cryotherapy without clearance.
