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

objectiveTo analyze the association between oral lichen planus (OLP), oral lichenoid lesions (OLL), and other comorbidities. MATERIAL AND

methodsA case-control study of 205 OLP, 96 OLL patients, and 301 age- and sex-matched controls from Kuopio University Hospital was performed. Medical history, regular medications, allergies, lichen planus in the body, and clinical features of OLP/OLL were recorded.

resultsThe prevalence of autoimmune hypothyroidism (HT) was 12.2% in OLP, 18.8% in OLL, and 9% in the control group; the estimated odds ratio (OR) was 1.425 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.793 to 2.562) (p = 0.237) for OLP and 2.292 [95% CI 1.175-4.47] (p = 0.015) for OLL. Allergies were found in 36.1% of OLP patients and in 22.9% of controls; the estimated OR was 1.872 [95% CI 1.245-2.815] (p = 0.003) for OLP. Patients with HT had more often erosive lesions than patients without HT.

conclusionThe present study suggests that OLL is associated with HT. The association between OLP and HT was not statistically significant. Allergies are associated with OLP.
