Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 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
objectivesThis study was conducted to describe the clinical and histopathological features of OPMDs characterized by OED with a special focus on the subepithelial LPI and its grades. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides of 82 diagnosed cases of OPMDs with OED. Histologic review was performed based on the WHO and binary grading system for OED. Subepithelial LPI and its grades were also noted and reported. χ
resultsThe mean age of OPMD cases with OED was 58.51 ± 12.38, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.28:1. OED lesions were mostly (N = 41; 50%) seen on the buccal mucosa, retromolar area, and vestibule of the oral cavity. Oral leukoplakia was the most (N = 52; 63.4%) commonly diagnosed clinical variant of OPMDs. Drop-shaped rete ridges (N = 78; 95.12%) and hyperchromasia (N = 76; 92.68%) were the most commonly occurring architectural and cellular alterations of OED, respectively. The overall interobserver agreement for various histopathologic variables ranged from moderate to perfect. Histologically, moderate dysplasia was the most frequently occurring grade (N = 37; 45.12%). Most (N = 45; 54.9%) of the OPMDs were marked as high-risk dysplasia. Subepithelial LPI was significantly (p < 0.01) related to the histologic grades of OED lesions. The grades of LPI were significantly (p = 0.018) related to the binary grading system only.
conclusionThe subgrades of LPI were significantly associated with the binary grading system of OED, suggesting that subepithelial LPI may reflect underlying microenvironmental changes related to dysplasia severity.
