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

Aim and background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multisystem hamartomas. Oral manifestations in the form of gingival enlargement, enamel pitting, and fibromas are a common finding. The most common form of fibromas reported in these patients has been angiofibromas, predominantly located on the anterior gingival mucosa. Here, we report a case of an intraoral giant cell fibroma, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported to date. Case description: A 12-year-old girl, prediagnosed with TSC, presented with a soft tissue swelling originating from the interdental papilla between the left mandibular permanent lateral incisor and canine. An excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological analysis was carried out. Conclusion: A final diagnosis of a giant cell fibroma was made. No evidence of lesion recurrence was reported at the end of a 1-year follow-up. Clinical significance: Differential diagnosis of a giant cell fibroma can be considered in patients with TSC presenting with intraoral fibrous lesions. Timely interventions will help improve the oral health-related quality of life of these patients. How to cite this article: D'souza OK, Naik R, Dukle S,
