Maxillary Ameloblastoma: A Review With Clinical, Histological and Prognostic Data of a Rare Tumor.

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
Diagnosis of odontogenic tumors can be challenging due to their rarity and diverse morphology, but when arising near the tooth, the diagnosis could be suspected. When their location is not typical, like inside the paranasal sinuses, the diagnosis is less easy. Maxillary ameloblastomas are exceedingly rare with only sparse information on their epidemiological, histological and genetic characteristics. The aim of this report is to thoroughly review the available literature in order to present the characteristics of this tumor. According to available data, maxillary ameloblastomas can occur in all ages but later than mandible ones, and everywhere within the maxillary region without necessarily having direct contact with the teeth. No sex preference has been shown. The most common histological patterns seen in this location are the follicular and plexiform ones. Maxillary ameloblastomas are locally aggressive neoplasms, thus therapy aims for excision including normal bone beyond the lesion. In contrast to mandible ameloblastomas, maxillary ones most commonly show mutations of the SMO gene. Furthermore, differential tumor diagnosis is thoroughly discussed in the present review.
