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

introductionThe calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumor, is a locally invasive benign neoplasm. Histogenesis is controversial. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 26-year-old male presented asymptomatic swelling on the right side of the face, with approximately six months of evolution. At intraoral examination, a hard nodule localized in the right posterior region of the maxilla, measuring approximately 5.0 x 3.0 cm was observed. The computed tomography images showed hypodense lesion with points of calcification associated with two non-erupted teeth. We suspect of odontogenic lesions. The final diagnosis of CEOT was established based on the histopathological aspects. DISCUSSION: This tumor is more frequent in adult men, usually develops in the posterior region of the mandible and may present clinical-pathological similarities with others odontogenic lesions. The radiological aspects observed in the CEOT are variable and depend on the time of evolution of the tumor. The histopathological examination is mandatory to establish the final diagnosis.

conclusionOur case was treated with simple enucleation without signs of recurrence in five years of follow-up. Further studies are needed to understand the aetiology and the biological behaviour of this tumor.
