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

Objectives: Congenital epulis (CE) is a rare benign tumour typically arising from the alveolar ridge and more frequently observed in female neonates. The report highlights its potential impact on neonatal breathing and feeding, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and management. Case presentation: We present a case of a female neonate with a giant CE detected on prenatal ultrasound. After the birth the lesion interfered with feeding, while respiratory function remained unaffected. Three masses were surgically dissected from the maxillary mucosa and the neonate successfully transitioned to oral feeding within the first week. Histopathological examination revealed a granular cell tumour with negative immunoreactivity for S100. Conclusions: The case underlines the significance of prenatal diagnosis, collaborative multidisciplinary planning, and, when indicated, the application of the EXIT procedure for congenital orofacial tumours with potential airway obstruction. Early recognition and integrated care can substantially improve neonatal prognosis.
