Angiofibroma of the maxillary gingiva: a rare case report and review of the literature.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction: Angiofibromas are benign fibrovascular neoplasms that rarely involve the oral cavity. Case presentation: A 36-year-old female presented with a painless swelling on the buccal gingiva adjacent to the right maxillary second molar. Examination revealed a solitary, sessile, oval mass measuring 1.5 cm × 1.2 cm × 1.0 cm. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathology confirmed an angiofibroma, showing non-keratinized hyperplastic epithelium overlying a fibrous stroma containing numerous newly formed capillaries. Healing was uneventful, with no recurrence at 1 year. Clinical discussion: Oral angiofibromas mimic common lesions such as fibromas, necessitating histopathological confirmation. Differential diagnoses include solitary fibrous tumors and spindle cell lipomas. Complete local excision is curative. Conclusion: This rare case of maxillary gingival angiofibroma underscores the importance of histopathological evaluation for definitive diagnosis. Complete excision yields excellent outcomes.
