[Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: about six cases].

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
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of bone is a benign, congenital and rare disease in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous bone tissue, resulting in bone deformities. It can affect any bone in the body, however craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is characterized by specific clinical manifestations, progression and therapeutic issues. The purpose of our study was to describe the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary features of craniofacial FD. This study involved six patients with craniofacial FD followed up in the Department of Otolaryngology at the Principal Hospital of Dakar. The average age of patients was 26.16 years, ranging from 11 to 58 years. Sex ratio favoured women (83% of the cases). Bone deformity was the main feature of craniofacial FD leading to diagnosis. One patient presented with unilateral nasal obstruction with epistaxis. In all cases, scanner enabled diagnosis and topographic balance. Two female patients underwent surgery. One case of recurrence was reported. Craniofacial FD is a rare bone disease that can manifest as serious sensory and functional disorders. It poses real therapeutic issues; hence adequate interdisciplinar management is essential.
