Epidermoid Cyst of the Gingiva: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Oral epidermoid cysts are developmental lesions that account for less than 0.04% of all reported cases and typically occur in the floor of the mouth; gingival involvement is exceedingly rare. This report describes a 23-year-old female presenting with an asymptomatic, whitish papule on the attached gingiva near the right mandibular canine. Histopathologically, the lesion showed a cystic cavity mainly lined by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium containing lamellar keratin, without cutaneous adnexal structures in the fibrous connective tissue capsule. No recurrence was observed after 15 months of follow-up. A literature review identified eight epidermoid cysts involving the gingiva or alveolar ridge. This report underscores the importance of including this entity in the differential diagnosis of gingival papules and indicates that accurate clinical recognition coupled with histopathological confirmation ensures curative surgical outcomes.
