Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor treated with a combination of marsupialization and radical resection: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2023. 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
backgroundDentinogenic ghost cell tumor is a rare benign tumor that accounts for less than 3% of all cases and consists of the stellate reticulum, which is made up of enamel epithelioid and basaloid cells. Although DGCT is a benign tumor, the local infiltration of the odontogenic epithelium or recurrences have been reported, and its detailed pathology and treatments remain unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes the case of a 60-year-old Japanese male diagnosed with a maxillary dentinogenic ghost cell tumor. Images showed well-circumscribed, multilocular cystic lesions with a calcified substance in the interior. Marsupialization was performed along with biopsy to prevent the expansion of the lesion, and a partial maxillectomy was performed 2 years after the initial examination. Histopathological findings showed ameloblastomatous proliferation containing clusters of ghost cells and dentinoid materials, resulting in the diagnosis of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor. This article also reviews recently reported cases of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor.
conclusionIt is important to perform marsupialization, proper resection, and postoperative follow-up because of possible recurrence.
