An Analysis of Clinical and Histopathologic Features of Fibrous Dysplasia of the Jaws: A Series of 40 Cases and Review of Literature.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare condition commonly involving the jaws. While FD has a typical clinical and histological presentation, considerable variation exists. Moreover, overlap of features with other disorders is possible. This study serves to characterize the features of a large case series of FD of the jaws. With IRB approval, the University of Florida Oral Pathology Biopsy Service archive was retrospectively searched from 1994 to 2015 for cases of FD. Epidemiological data, location, duration, clinical and radiographic appearance, clinical impression and exact microscopic diagnosis were recorded. The average age was 37.3 years (range 7-87 years) with majority of cases in females (67.5%). The most common ethnicity was Caucasian. Maxillary location was predominant (59%), followed by mandible (38%) and multiple locations (3%). Expansion was reported in 78% of cases. Radiographically, most cases exhibited ground glass opacity, however some presented with a mottled or mixed radiopaque/radiolucent appearance. Histologically, a wide variation in terms of stromal cellularity, presence of osteoblastic rimming, and presence of calcified material mimicking cemento-osseous dysplasia was observed. Clinicians and pathologists should be cognizant of the significant variability in clinical, histopathologic, and radiographic presentation of FD, which may pose a diagnostic challenge.
