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

Purpose: Lichen planus (LP) and oral lichen planus (OLP) share clinical and histological similarities, yet their distinct immunopathological mechanisms make differentiation and management challenging. Clarifying these differences is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the systemic immune profile of OLP using single-cell transcriptomics, identifying distinct immune cell subsets and signaling pathways contributing to its chronic inflammatory state. Additionally, it sought to compare the inflammatory lesion microenvironments of OLP and LP by analyzing key immune pathways and cellular interactions. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 16 OLP patients and 5 healthy controls. Single-cell transcriptomic data from PBMCs and lesion tissues of OLP and LP were analyzed to profile immune and inflammatory signatures. Key molecular findings were validated using independent datasets and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Results: Prostaglandin D2 synthase ( Discussion: These findings highlight distinct immunopathogenic mechanisms between OLP and LP. The upregulation of Conclusion: This study identifies distinct immune signatures that differentiate OLP from LP, highlighting potential therapeutic targets that require further validation for personalized treatment strategies.
