Adenoid Ameloblastoma Versus Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumor.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundA recent systematic review published in Head and Neck Pathology found that 3.8% of dentinogenic ghost cell tumors harbor duct-like/ cribriform architecture. Herein we discuss this finding regarding the differential diagnosis of this tumor with adenoid ameloblastoma.
methodsA critical review of some microscopic findings reported in a recent paper published in the Head and Neck Pathology Journal was done.
resultsAlthough there are overlapping microscopic features with dentinogenic ghost cell tumor, adenoid ameloblastoma is distinguished by the combination of duct-like structures and whorls/morules. In our opinion, at least some cases previously diagnosed as dentinogenic ghost cell tumors may now be more accurately classified as adenoid ameloblastoma.
conclusionWe conclude that a reassessment of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor cases using the diagnostic criteria proposed by the new WHO classification of Head and Neck Tumors (2022) is warranted.
