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

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) often occur in the molars in the mandibular ramus; they often progress asymptomatically and are discovered only after widespread development. Some cases of OKC progress to the mandibular condyle; however, very few cases exist only in the condyle. To the best of our knowledge, in all of the previously reported cases, OKCs occurred in the mandibular ramus, which underwent resection. The present study reports the case of a 31-year-old man in whom an OKC (13x12x6 mm) occurred discretely in the base of the condyle, in which the condylar head was successfully preserved. The tumor was removed under general anesthesia using the approach of shaving the anterior surface of the mandible. The extraction cavity was managed using the packed open technique and with an obturator. Approximately 20 months post-operation, the patient remained recurrence-free. This report presents a rare case of an OKC in the mandibular condyle base region. Resection was performed under general anesthesia and the condylar process was successfully preserved.
