Peripheral ossifying fibroma associated with an underlying enamel pearl on an anterior tooth.

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
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive gingival lesion characterized by high cellularity and varying degrees of mineralization. An 18-year-old female reported a painless enlargement in the lower right anterior region that had been gradually increasing in size over five years. Clinically, the lesion appeared as a pink, smooth-surfaced, sessile mass involving the interdental papilla and attached gingiva adjacent to the mandibular right lateral incisor. There was no history of trauma. Following scaling and root planing, an excisional biopsy was performed. Intraoperatively, an enamel pearl measuring 2 mm × 3 mm was identified at the cementoenamel junction of the involved tooth and removed after flap elevation. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of POF. The postoperative healing was uneventful, with no recurrence observed over a one-year follow-up period. This case highlights the unusual association of POF with an underlying enamel pearl.
