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

White spongy nevus (WSN) is an infrequent hereditary mucosal disorder that is asymptomatic and is marked by white corrugated plaques due to defects in epithelial keratinization. Therefore, it is of interest to report of a 20-year-old woman who has bilateral mucosal lesions of the buccal area that are non-responsive to antifungal treatment. WSN was established through clinical features and histopathology which include hyperparakeratosis, vacuolated spinous cells and perinuclear eosinophilic condensation. WSN is a benign disorder; however, it is often confused and should be distinguished with malignant and infectious lesions. Its clinical and genetic background is important for counselling and follow-up.
