Comparative analysis between developmental and inflammatory odontogenic cysts: retrospective study and literature review.
Review in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo assess epidemiological, clinical, and radiographic characteristics of odontogenic cysts (OCs) in a South Brazilian sample and to compare the results with international literature.
methodsFor the main study purposes, biopsy and histopathological records were retrospectively analyzed from December 2006 to December 2018, OC cases were selected, and data about clinical characteristics were evaluated. Further, a literature review was performed for similar studies.
resultsIn the main study, the prevalence of OCs was 11.26% (n = 406), the majority of patients was male (56.73%), and the mean age was 39 ± 17.33 years. Radicular cyst was the most common OC (46.06%), followed by the odontogenic keratocyst (15.02%), dentigerous cyst (14.04%), and paradental cyst (13.55%). Inflammatory OCs were more prevalent in the maxilla (54.84%) and developmental cysts in the mandible (69.92%) (p < 0.05). Individuals with inflammatory OCs were usually older (41.0 ± 15.34 years) than the ones with developmental OC (28.0 ± 19.68 years) (p < 0.05). Regarding the literature review, 22 articles were included. Analysis of pooled data showed that global prevalence of OCs was 11.62% (95%CI = 9.97-13.37), from which radicular cyst was the most common (54.26%; 95%CI = 49.30-59.18), followed by dentigerous cyst (22.94%; 95%CI = 19.22-26.89) and odontogenic keratocyst (11.99%; 95%CI = 8.88-15.49). Furthermore, studies from Asia (72.40%; 95%CI = 70.30-74.40) and South America (68.48%; 95%CI = 64.07-72.72) presented the highest frequencies of inflammatory OCs.
conclusionThe main study showed that the prevalence of OCs was 11.26%, which corroborates with international literature. Considering geographic variability of OC distribution, public health authorities and researchers could use these data for the development of focused prevention interventions, especially with regard to inflammatory OCs.
