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
Actinic cheilitis (AC) is a common potentially malignant disorder that primarily affects the lower lip due to chronic ultraviolet B exposure. Severe epithelial dysplasia in AC carries a significant risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma, necessitating definitive treatment. Vermilionectomy is considered the treatment of choice in high-risk lesions, offering both functional and aesthetic restoration. This study reports the clinical outcomes of three cases of AC with severe dysplasia treated via vermilionectomy. Three patients (two males, one female) with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of AC exhibiting severe epithelial dysplasia underwent vermilionectomy under local anesthesia. Surgical management involved excision of the affected vermilion to the muscular plane, hemostasis with electrocautery, and advancement of labial mucosa for reconstruction, followed by suture closure with 4-0 nylon. Postoperative recovery, complications, and aesthetic outcomes were assessed. All patients demonstrated complete healing without evidence of malignant transformation. Therefore, vermilionectomy is an effective and reliable treatment for AC with severe epithelial dysplasia, providing low recurrence rates and favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes. These cases reinforce the role of vermilionectomy as the definitive treatment for high-risk AC lesions.
