Clinical Factors for Marked Granuloma-like Neoplasm at the Wound Site after Partial Glossectomy - A Retrospective Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Introduction: Marked granuloma-like neoplasm (GLN) formation after partial glossectomy interferes with wound healing and complicates postoperative management. Although polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets are frequently used in oral surgery, few studies have comprehensively evaluated GLN incidence with and without PGA application, particularly in tongue lesions. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analysed 110 patients (112 surgical sites) with tongue cancer or precancerous lesions who underwent partial glossectomy. GLN was defined as an abnormally protruding mass identified during postoperative healing. Clinical factors including patient background, surgical methods and postoperative findings were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors. Results: GLN was observed in 17 of 112 surgical sites (15.2%). Univariate analysis identified medical history affecting wound healing, malocclusion or abnormal dental arrangement and postoperative partial detachment of PGA sheets as significant risk factors. In contrast, intraoperative PGA sheet application alone was not significant ( Discussion: To reduce GLN risk, careful occlusal evaluation, preoperative management of medical conditions influencing wound healing and monitoring of PGA sheet detachment are advised. Early excision of granulation tissue may support wound healing and help distinguish GLN from tumour recurrence.
