Histopathological patterns and biological characteristics of ameloblastoma: A retrospective cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the histopathological patterns and biological characteristics of ameloblastoma.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional retrospective laboratory-based study using 82 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from patients diagnosed histologically with ameloblastoma. Information regarding age, sex, anatomical location of the lesion, histopathologic type, and biological behaviour or characteristics of the types of ameloblastoma was obtained from laboratory request forms. Categorical and continuous variables were summarized in percentage and mean ± standard deviation, respectively. The cohort was conducted on Ugandan patients diagnosed between 2016 and 2019.
resultsMost patients (66.3%) were clinically presenting a painless jaw swelling, and a follicular pattern was common (39%) followed by the plexiform pattern (12.2%). All the ameloblastoma cases (100%) were benign, with the majority (76.8%) cases being non-recurrent while the remaining (23.2%) were recurrent, and the plexiform pattern was the commonest recurrent histopathological pattern.
conclusionThis study reports a relatively significant rate of recurrence in almost a quarter of the study population. The plexiform histopathologic type was the dominant type in recurrence cases. Therefore, this finding provides insightful information to clinicians to ensure close follow-up for patients diagnosed with such a variant to prevent possible relapse of the disease.
