Clinical Presentation and Surgical Management of Idiopathic Gingival Fibromatosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) is a rare benign condition characterized by a progressive fibrous enlargement of the gingival tissues in the absence of systemic, pharmacological, or hereditary causes. This case report describes an 11-year-old male presenting with generalized gingival overgrowth causing functional and aesthetic impairment. Clinical examination revealed firm, pale pink, non-hemorrhagic gingival enlargement covering a significant portion of the dental crowns, with pseudo-pocket formation but no evidence of attachment loss. The patient had no relevant medical history, drug intake, or familial background suggestive of hereditary involvement. Histopathological analysis demonstrated dense collagen bundles with elongated rete ridges and minimal inflammatory infiltrate, confirming the diagnosis of IGF. Following initial periodontal therapy to improve oral hygiene, surgical excision of the excess gingival tissue was performed. Postoperative healing was uneventful, and satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes were achieved. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period of several months. Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management combined with strict maintenance are essential to prevent recurrence and restore oral function in patients with IGF.
