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

Microcystic variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is rare. We herein describe an additional well-documented case of microcystic CEOT. The affected patient is a Guatemalan 42-year-old female with an expansile well-defined mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion located in the right posterior mandible. The lesion was associated to an unerupted third molar. Histopathologic examination revealed nests and cords of moderately pleomorphic, eosinophilic polyhedral epithelial cells surrounded by a fibromyxoid stroma. The neoplastic cells showed microcystic pattern made of pseudo-glandular spaces with variable diameter. Occasional amyloid deposits and calcified acellular material were observed. Tumor cells were positive for AE1/AE3, CK14, CK19, p63, CD138, and beta-catenin. Conservative surgical resection was performed with an uneventful immediate post-surgical follow-up. After 1 year follow-up there is no evidence of recurrence. Pathologists should be aware of this unusual microcystic presentation of CEOT, which may pose a diagnostic challenge and potential diagnostic dilemma.
