The most frequent and/or important lesions that affect the face and the jaws.
Review in Oral radiology, 2020. 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
introductionThe radiology of the most important and/or frequent lesions affecting the bones of the face and jaws has been set out in this review and pictorial essay.
methodsThe latter is composed of multiple images displaying one or more key radiological features derived from almost every one of the most important and/ or frequent lesion affecting the face and the jaws. These images have been grouped together in 18 figures, each served by a detailed and free-standing legend. These lesions are outlined in a flowchart, which focuses on one or at most two radiological features in turn.
resultsIt begins with those lesions that could indicate systemic disease, such as multiple lesions, and then proceeds onward to single lesions. The first of these single lesions are the neoplasms which need not only an early diagnosis, but also complete ablation in the majority of cases. Cystic lesions are then next, including consideration of the frequently occurring non-cysts such as simple bone cysts and lingual bone defects which require no treatment. Finally, it ends with the periapical radiolucency of inflammatory origin.
conclusionThe most important and/or frequent lesions affecting the bones of the face and jaws that present to the oral and maxillofacial clinician can be considered systematically en route to the 'periapical radiolucency of inflammatory origin,' which is one of the most usually encountered lesions in clinical dentistry.
