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

Lugol's iodine (LI) is recognized for its diagnostic efficacy in identifying and delineating sufficient margins of the biopsy region. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the variance in excision margins between visual assessment and LI as well as to histopathologically analyze the disease-free margin post-excision. The diameters of the lesions were statistically compared before and after the application of LI in 18 male patients. The histopathological report was assessed for disease-free margins. Data shows that LI stain is an essential method for assessing the progression/excision margins of suspicious oral lesions, hence aiding in the early identification of oral cancer.
