Does active decompression of odontogenic keratocyst change the histologic diagnosis?
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06536907 (The Effect of Decompression on Histologic Diagnoses of Cystic Jaw Lesions), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
aimThe purpose of this study was to compare the histopathologic findings of pre- and post-active decompression of odontogenic keratocyst and to establish if such findings were consistent. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective case series from a group of patients diagnosed with odontogenic keratocyst who underwent active decompression and distraction sugosteogenesis followed by final enucleation was designed and implemented. The dependent variable was changed in histologic diagnosis, as evaluated by an oral and maxillofacial pathologist. Other variables included age, gender, anatomic location of the lesion, and time elapsed from initial biopsy to final enucleation.
resultsSix patients diagnosed with odontogenic keratocyst who underwent active decompression followed by enucleation and curettage were studied. The mean age was 45.6 years (range, 16 to 74) 83.33% were males, 16.66 females. Lesions were located in the mandible in 83.33% of cases and in the maxilla in 16.66% of cases. Post-active decompression histologic examination at the time of definitive enucleation was consistent with the initial diagnosis in 83.33% of cases.
conclusionsThe histopathological diagnosis at the time of definitive treatment by enucleation and curettage is consistent with the pre-active decompression diagnosis.
