Radiological features of oral and maxillofacial plasmablastic lymphomas.
Article in Oral radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe purpose of the current study was to report on the clinical presentation and radiological features of 72 cases of oral and maxillofacial plasmablastic lymphomas (PBL).
methodsHistologically confirmed cases of PBL were retrospectively reviewed over a 10-year period. Demographic and clinical data were retrieved from the patient's records. Radiological information was obtained from the available radiographic examinations.
resultsThe prevalence of PBL was 0.6% of diagnosed head and neck lesions. PBL presented at a mean age of 39 years, demonstrating a strong male predominance. All patients with a known retroviral disease (RVD) status were HIV-positive. PBL had a maxillary predilection (78%), with posterior regions of both jawbones most commonly affected (76%). Most cases had bony involvement (95%), with poorly demarcated bony borders seen in the majority of cases (93%). PBL had a tendency to cause a loss of cortical integrity (96%), either via cortical erosion or destruction, rather than cortical expansion (2%).
conclusionMost of the current literature on PBL focuses on demographics, anatomical location, and histopathological profile, with radiological features only reported in isolated case reports. This study is the first of its kind to report on the clinicoradiological appearance of PBL in a large sample. These findings may assist clinicians in the clinical diagnostic work-up of patients, including the acquisition and assessment of appropriate advanced radiographic imaging.
