Collagen during odontogenesis and in ameloblastoma: A polarizing microscopic study.
Article in Journal of oral and maxillofacial pathology : JOMFP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundOdontogenesis is a highly coordinated and complex process which depends on cell-cell interactions that result in initiation and generation of tooth. Tissue remnants of developing tooth can form odontogenic tumors possibly, reflecting different developmental stages in tooth formation. In both odontogenesis and odontogenic tumors, stroma plays a prominent role in maintaining epithelial tissues with continuous molecular interactions. As the collagen forms an integral part of connective tissue stroma, in the present study, polarization colors and thickness of the collagen fibers were assessed in both tooth germ papillae and ameloblastoma using picrosirius red (PSR) stain. MATERIALS AND
methodsCollagen fibers in 20 cases of ameloblastoma and 10 tooth germs from the human fetus were evaluated with PSR stain and examined under polarizing microscopy.
resultsPolarization colors of red-colored collagen fibers with greater diameter were more in ameloblastoma when compared to tooth germ papillae in which green-colored collagen fibers with smaller diameter being more.
conclusionThe absence of hard tissue formation in ameloblastoma might be due to the presence of significantly more number and greater thickness of red-colored collagen fibers. Thus, the nature of collagen fibers can predict the nature in terms of biologic behavior and prognosis.
