A rare intersection: Oral carcinoma cuniculatum in the context of Down syndrome.
Article in Journal of oral and maxillofacial pathology : JOMFP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Oral carcinoma cuniculatum (OCC) is a rare, well-differentiated variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma, characterized by keratin-filled crypts and a burrowing growth pattern. Its occurrence in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is exceptionally uncommon due to their reportedly lower risk of solid tumours. We present a rare case of OCC in a 38-year-old woman with DS, who reported a painful lesion on the lateral tongue. Histopathological analysis confirmed OCC, aided by E-cadherin immunohistochemistry to differentiate it from verrucous carcinoma. Surgical excision with neck dissection was performed. The case highlights diagnostic challenges in DS individuals, including misattribution of symptoms and oral hygiene difficulties. This report underscores the importance of awareness camps and early detection of oral malignancies in patients with DS and advocates for targeted education and preventive programmes for caregivers and dental professionals.
