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

background/purposeRadiological examination is indispensable in the diagnosis and follow-up of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). The aim of this retrospective study was to describe a series of COD cases, identify the frequencies of COD subtypes, and investigate the demographic and radiological characteristics in relation to subtypes. MATERIALS AND

methodsCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images/reports of patients with a diagnosis of COD were included in the study. The data collected included information on the age, sex, subtype of COD, location of COD, and region involved. Information regarding the internal density, effects on surrounding structures, and presence of concomitant lesions was also collected. The data obtained were evaluated statistically.

resultsThe study group included CBCT images of 142 patients (130 females (91.5%) and 12 males (8.5%)) with a mean age of 46.97 ± 10.57 years. The mandible was involved in almost all cases (99.3%). The most common subtype was florid COD (51.4%) and lesions with hyperdense internal density (81.7%) were more commonly observed. Cortical thinning (78.2%) was a prominent feature. The frequency of root resorption in periapical COD cases (57.1%) was observed to be significantly higher (p < 0.05). All hypercementosis cases were associated with florid subtype (p < 0.05). In a minority of cases (6.3%), the lesions were associated with bone cysts and osteomyelitis.

conclusionCBCT images clearly demonstrated the effect of COD lesions on surrounding structures. CBCT is an appropriate imaging modality for the diagnosis and follow-up of COD which is the most common fibro-osseous lesion in clinical practice.
