Clinical and histomorphometric evaluation of decompression followed by enucleation in the treatment of odontogenic keratocyst.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
background/purposeThe classification and treatment of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) are controversial. The objective of this study was to present the efficiency of decompression followed by enucleation by clinical and histomorphometric evaluation for the treatment of OKC. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty four OKCs of 27 patients who underwent decompression followed by enucleation were included in this study. Clinical and histomorphometric analysis were performed.
resultsThe average decreasing rate was 59% in maximum diameter, 66% in the amount of the volume for the average of period of the decompression was 9.8 months. The mean of increasing rate of the thickness of the epithelial lining was 921.16%. There were no recurrences for a mean follow-up period of 5.8 years. The thin and friable cyst wall of the OKC was changed to thickened, hard type.
conclusionThe decompression was found to be effective and reliable as a treatment of the OKC to decrease the recurrence tendency, even for Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.
