Study of Clinical Characteristics of Desquamative Gingivitis in 60 Patients in the North of Spain.
Article in International journal of dental hygiene, 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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to know the clinical characteristics of desquamative gingivitis (DG) in a Spanish population in order to make an early diagnosis of this sign and, therefore, the underlying systemic disease.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients who presented with DG and who met the established inclusion criteria were selected. The following variables were collected from the patient's clinical history, examination, and pathological anatomy report: age at diagnosis, gender, underlying diseases, extent of lesions, intraoral lesions or extraoral involvement, form of appearance, and symptomatology.
resultsThe sample comprised of 60 patients. The mean age was 62.18 ± 11.22 years. The most common associated disease was OLP. The most common form of onset was erythematous (55%). 56.7% of the lesions appeared in the anterior and posterior region, and 68.3% appeared in all quadrants. 53.3% of patients were asymptomatic.
conclusionDiversity exists in terms of the appearance and extension of DG. It is important to stress to dental hygienists the importance of a proper diagnosis of any gingival lesions.
