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 verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a rare benign lesion of the oral mucosa that often mimics other oral diseases. We report three cases of OVX and describe their clinical and histopathological characteristics. All patients presented with asymptomatic, well-demarcated verrucous lesions located on the attached gingiva. The patients ranged in age from 59 to 85 years, with a median age of 73 years. One patient had a history of umbilical cord blood transplantation and possible chronic graft-versus-host disease. Clinically, the lesions were suspected to represent papillary lesions. Excisional biopsy was performed in all cases. Histopathological examination demonstrated papillary epithelial architecture with elongated rete ridges and infiltration of foamy macrophages within the underlying connective tissue, thereby confirming the diagnosis of OVX. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. These findings emphasize the importance of histopathological evaluation for the accurate diagnosis of OVX.
