Evaluation of keratocystic odontogenic tumors using cone beam computed tomography.
Article in Journal of Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe aim of this retrospective study is to determine the radiological features of keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsCBCT images of 28 patients who had histopathologically-confirmed KCOT were retrospectively reviewed from the archives of the Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry. The location and size of KCOT, cortical expansion, cortical perforation, relation with the impacted teeth, and the impact on the mandibular canal were evaluated.
resultsThe mean age of patients at initial diagnosis was 34.5 years. Patients with an impacted tooth were significantly younger than those without an impacted tooth (p<0.05). Among KCOTs, 21% were localized in the maxilla whereas 79% were found in the mandible. The lesions localized in the mandible were mostly found in the retromolar-ramus region. Of these patients, 93% had cortical expansion and 75% had bone perforation. Of the 22 mandibular lesions, 20 were in close proximity of the mandibular canal and 18 (90%) of these lesions had caused destruction in the mandibular canal.
conclusionKCOTs exhibit their aggressive nature in the jaw bone. CBCT is a useful radiological imaging method to examine the radiologic characteristics of KCOTs such as bone destruction and their spatial relations with the neighboring anatomic structures.
