Smokeless Tobacco Pouch Keratosis: A Report of Two Cases.
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
Tobacco pouch keratosis (TPK) is a white lesion caused by chronic contact with smokeless tobacco (SLT) on the oral mucosa. The lesion develops as a result of chronic tobacco chewing or snuff dipping. The lesion exhibits precancerous characteristics; thus, dentists must educate patients about the dangers of tobacco use and advise them to quit. This article discusses the clinical findings of a 17-year-old adolescent boy and a 48-year-old man who were SLE users diagnosed with TPK and nicotine replacement therapy to averse from the SLT chewing habit due to nicotine dependence. The novelty of this study was that TPK typically manifests clinically as a thick, whitish wrinkled appearance in areas specifically extending along the vestibule or gingiva in contact with SLT and these clinical insights of SLT pouch keratosis underline the importance of early detection and the critical role of dental professionals in managing SLT-related lesions.
