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

backgroundSeparation of the epithelial lining from the underlying connective tissue wall has been a frequently observed and unique feature in odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), but not in other odontogenic cysts nor neoplasms. No study on OKC has been reported evaluating the role of type VII Collagen, the anchoring fibrils, which function in stabilising the epithelial structure. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of type VII collagen in the fragility of the epithelium leading to a high recurrence rate in OKCs. MATERIAL AND

methodsImmunohistochemical staining with Abcam® Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Collagen VII Antibody [LH7.2] (used at a dilution of 1:200) on 30 tissues of OKC. The chi-square test was applied to confirm the statistical significance between the control and test groups. The frequencies of the pattern of distribution for the staining characteristics of collagen VII were calculated in the OKC samples.

resultsOut of the 30 OKC samples 22 (73.3%) showed negative staining for type VII Collagen. Among the infected cases, 7 showed a positive basement membrane staining and one of the non-infected OKC showed positive basement membrane staining. However, none of the syndrome associated or recurrent OKCs showed any evidence of type VII collagen reactivity.

conclusionsConsidering the distribution of type VII collagen in OKCs it can be concluded that type VII collagen expression is altered in OKCs, leading to destabilisation of the epithelium connective tissue interface thus rendering the epithelium-connective tissue interface fragile.
