Granular cell ameloblastoma: an unusual histological subtype report and review of literature.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundGranular cell ameloblastoma is a rare histological subtype of ameloblastoma accounting for less than 5% of the total. The characteristic microscopic features of granular cells are attributed to the increased presence of lysosomes in the cytoplasm of the tumour cells.
methodsA case of bone expansion in the mandible of 65 year old patient was examined on the basis of the clinical examination, radiographic imaging and microscopic features. A complete surgical removal was performed.
resultsThe radiographic imaging characteristics were consistent with a locally aggressive jaw lesion. Histological examination of the tumour revealed typical features of granular cell ameloblastoma. The specimen margins were free of tumour and the postoperative course was uneventful. No evidence of recurrence was noticed during a 1.5 years follow-up period.
conclusionsThe rarity of the granular cell ameloblastoma subtype and the possibility of confusion with other odontogenic and non-odontogenic lesions with a granular cell component require an understanding of the salient features of this locally aggressive neoplasm. A literature review is provided focusing on emerging molecular parameters in the pathogenesis of these tumours and the differential diagnosis of oral lesions featuring granular cells.
