Epstein-Barr virus and oral health: epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical aspects, and diagnostic insights: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a widespread human herpesvirus, establishes lifelong latency and is linked to a range of systemic and oral diseases. Although primarily associated with infectious mononucleosis and lymphoproliferative disorders, its oral health implications are often overlooked. This review summarizes current insights into the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical aspects, and diagnostic methods of EBV in oral health. A comprehensive literature search using PubMed and Scopus databases identified studies focusing on EBV and its oral presentations, including keywords like "Epstein-Barr Virus," "oral health," "oral manifestations," "oral hairy leukoplakia," "periodontal disease," and "oral squamous cell carcinoma". EBV-related oral lesions include palatal petechiae, pharyngeal erythema, oral hairy leukoplakia, and ulcers, with emerging links to periodontal diseases and oral cancer. Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment, histopathology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR),
