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

Multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors are one of the key features of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. A 15-year-old nonsyndromic female child presented with multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors. The presence of the tumors was observed in immunological examinations. The images led to the suspicion of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome which was discarded after analyzing the patient's medical history and complementary examinations. Le Fort I osteotomy was opted to access the maxillary tumors favoring visibility and allowing simultaneous bilateral accesses. A sagittal vestibular incision in the lower rim was performed to access the mandibular lesions. After 3 months, the patient underwent a bilateral myotomy to reduce the volume of the masseter muscles. The occurrence of nonsyndromic multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors is rare. Clinicians facing this situation shall seek for other known features of the Gorlin-Goltz syndrome and follow up closely these patients for the possibility of occurrence of basal cell carcinoma.
