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

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an expansile osteolytic lesion of the jawbone. Conventional treatment of CGCG is surgical and vary from simple curettage to more aggressive resection of the jaw. However, surgical management is associated with drawbacks including requirement of hospitalisation and general anaesthesia, damage to vital anatomic structures and continuity defect of the mandible requiring reconstruction surgery. Use of intralesional injections of corticosteroid for the management of CGCG have been inconsistently used as an alternative non-surgical method of management of CGCG with varying success. While the use of such conservative modality over ablative surgery can significantly reduce postoperative morbidity, follow-up of such cases for a long period is important to study the possible recurrence. This paper reports successful treatment of a recurrent CGCG of posterior mandible by intralesional administration of triamcinolone acetonide in a 27-year old female patient, with long-term follow-up of 10 years.
