Stafne's bone defect with bicortical perforation: a need for modified classification system.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Stafne's bone defect (SBD) or salivary gland-related bone defects are asymptomatic bone cavities in the mandible caused by impingement by the salivary glandular tissue. The major salivary glands, particularly the submandibular gland, are in close relation with the mandible and their impingement can produce radiolucent defects on the lingual cortical surface of the mandible. Submandibular gland-related bone defects or depressions are referred as posterior lingual variant of SBD. These are asymptomatic and appear as well-defined radiolucent areas that are incidentally discovered on panoramic radiographs. Three-dimensional imaging may be required to evaluate the extent of cortical involvement and to determine the content of the cavity or defect. Usually, these defects are seen in the lingual cortices and are lined by cortex that causes a smooth radiopaque periphery. The involvement of both the buccal and lingual cortices by the defect is extremely uncommon. Literature has classified cases with buccal cortical expansion but buccal cortical perforation has not been described and classified. This case report describes this uncommon presentation of the salivary gland bone defect and through an in-depth literature review proposes a modification in the existing classification system.
