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

backgroundGingival cysts of the adult are rare developmental odontogenic cysts originating from the dental lamina. They usually present as single, small, bluish, noninflammatory swellings on the gingivae or alveolar mucosa. The aim of our study was to present one rare clinical case of a gingival cyst associated with inflammation hyperplasia in an adult. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old woman presented with an 18-month history of labial gingival enlargement and bleeding in her right upper anterior teeth. On intraoral examination, a single, sessile, round, noncystic lesion measuring 10 × 6 × 2 mm was observed. It had a fresh red color and an uneven surface. Radiographic examination revealed horizontal resorption in the mesial and distal alveoli and no evidence of cortical erosion. After nonsurgical periodontal treatment, the lesion was completely excised and secured by the coronally advanced flap technique. Histological examination revealed that an odontogenic cyst originating from the dental lamina was associated with inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Healing was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed during the 12-month telephone follow-up.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this case is the first to describe an adult gingival cyst accompanied by significant gingival inflammation hyperplasia. It offers a new perspective on the clinical presentation of adult gingival cysts and provides substantial diagnostic and differential diagnostic value.
