[Imaging features of multiple maxillomandibular brown tumors: a case report].

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
Brown tumors are rare osteolytic lesions occurring in 1.5-1.7% of patients with chronic end-stage renal failure. They are caused by PTH-induced bone remodeling. We here report the case of a young woman on hemodialysis for chronic end-stage renal failure with painless maxillo-mandibular swellings occurred 7 months before. Clinical examination showed facial deformity with two maxillary and mandibular masses to palpation. Laboratory tests revealed hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia with hyperparathyroidism. CT scan of the face revealed multiple osteolytic masses in the maxillary and mandibular bones, with significant bone rarefaction and signs of diffuse bone resorption. The diagnosis of multiple brown tumors of the face was retained based on clinical, biological and radiological features. Brown tumors are a rare entity usually characterized by maxillomandibular involvement in patients with chronic renal failure. Practitioners should suspect them, hence the interest in this study.
