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

Congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE) is a rare benign tumor typically presenting at birth and most commonly located on the maxillary alveolar ridge. Case Presentation: We report the case of a five-day-old female with a smooth, multilobulated mass on the right maxillary alveolar ridge causing feeding difficulties. Surgical excision was performed under sedation. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CGCE. No recurrence was observed at one-month follow-up. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and surgical treatment of CGCE are essential to avoid functional impairment. The prognosis is excellent following complete excision.
