Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis involving the mandible: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionChronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) or chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), is a very rare condition of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by focal sterile inflammatory disease with prolonged, self-limiting and recurrent episodes. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the discovery of this very rare disease following a mandibular abscess in a 10-year-old female. We initially focus on the difference between the preoperative orthopantomography and the maxillofacial computed tomography and magnetic resonance images obtained, and then on the improvement of strategies for correct diagnosis and treatment of this disease. DISCUSSION: Bone pain and localised swelling can occur in a single bone or can spread to soft tissue and adjacent bone; areas commonly affected by CMRO include the metaphyseal plates of the long bones, as well as the spine, clavicle and, rarely, the maxillofacial area. The clinical presentation of CMRO includes pain, functional impairment, and swelling, similar to our case.
conclusionsWe report a very rare case of this unifocal mandibular disease in a child who presented for an abscess and was then diagnosed and treated for CNO.
