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

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a common oral potentially malignant disorder, and its transformation into Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) has become a research focus. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the role of the oral microbiome in tumor initiation and progression. Studies have shown that dysbiosis of the oral microbiome may contribute to and accelerate the malignant transformation of OLP to OSCC through multiple mechanisms, including the induction of inflammatory responses, disruption of immune regulation, promotion of oxidative stress, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This review summarizes recent advances in research on the characteristic changes in the oral microbiome and associated molecular mechanisms during the malignant transformation of OLP, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and scientific support for early warning and microecological-targeted interventions in OLP malignancy.
