Management of Oral Lichen Planus in a Patient With Comorbidities: 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
Oral lichen planus is an inflammatory, immune-mediated mucocutaneous disease characterized by multiple clinical presentations, mainly reticular and erosive types. The association between lichen planus and diabetes mellitus has been widely accepted, which can aggravate the disease severity and affect treatment outcome. A 42-year-old male of Asian descent presents with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, having pain and burning sensation, which was exacerbated by hot and spicy foods. Intraoral clinical examination revealed bilateral white striations and erosive lesions on the buccal mucosa, gingiva, and labial vestibule; the clinical diagnosis was consistent with reticular and erosive lichen planus with desquamative gingivitis. The resistance to prior therapy and increased intensity of symptoms were exacerbated by immune dysregulation and persistent inflammation due to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient was treated with multiple therapies, including intralesional, topical, and systemic steroids, resulting in relief of symptoms, and significant clinical improvement was observed after six weeks. The management of lichen planus with systemic comorbidities emphasizes the significance of a customized treatment plan and interdisciplinary care. Despite the potential for malignant transformation, it is important to implement long-term follow-up.
