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

backgroundReciprocal interaction between dental epithelium and mesenchyme is thought to be crucial for normal odontogenesis. Thus, the mesenchymal influence of the fibrous capsules may play an important role in the maintenance of epithelial expression. Collagen is the major component of the extracellular matrix and possibly there is an alteration in the nature and structure of collagen in various pathological conditions. Studies by polarizing microscopy have also shown that there is a difference in collagen and probably these differences may play a role in their biologic behaviour.

aimThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the nature of collagen fibers in keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT), dentigerous cyst (DC), unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) and solid/multicystic ameloblastoma (SMA) and correlating this with their biological behaviour. MATERIALS AND

methodsFive diagnosed cases each of UA, SMA, KCOT and DC were taken and stained using Picrosirius red stain kit and evaluated using a polarizing microscope. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Chi-square test was used to analyse the results. RESULTS AND

conclusionCollagen fibers in dentigerous cysts showed predominant yellowish-red birefringence and fibers in KCOT and ameloblastomas showed a predominantly greenish-yellow birefringence. Hence, our study suggests that the nature and character of collagen fibers may influence the clinical behaviour of the lesion. Since ours is a pilot study, to corroborate our view, studies with larger sample size are required to substantiate the results.
