Bone Formation in Pleomorphic Adenoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumour with variable cytomorphological and architectural elements. It is the most common salivary gland tumour in children and adults. We report a case of a 32-year-old Malay woman who presented with a slow-growing, painless, firm, and mobile nodule of 1 cm x 1 cm in size at the angle of her mandible on the right side which could be palpated bimanually. Intraorally, this nodule could be palpated at the retromolar area. On excisional biopsy, this nodule was reported as a pleomorphic adenoma with predominant chondroid stromal elements and a large area of bone formation in the stroma. We discuss the possible pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and clinical significance of this exceptionally rare phenomenon of bone formation in pleomorphic adenoma in minor salivary glands with the literature review. The clinical significance and relevance on treatment outcome for pleomorphic adenoma with bone formation is currently uncertain as there are only a few cases reported in the literature. A good follow-up study is recommended to assess the clinical significance of pleomorphic adenoma with extensive bone formation.
