Bilateral Stafne Bone Cavity in the Body of the Mandible: An Unusual Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Stafne defect also known as Stafne bone cavity is a lingual surface depression generally found in the posterior mandible. This entity is usually unilateral and asymptomatic, found during routine dental radiographic evaluation. Stafne defect appears as a well-defined, oval, corticated entity located below the inferior alveolar canal. These entities are the inclusion of the salivary gland tissues. In this case report, we present the case of a bilateral Stafne defect that was asymmetrically located in the mandible and was incidentally detected on the cone-beam computed tomography scan taken for implant treatment planning. This case report highlights the significance of three-dimensional imaging and correctly diagnosing the incidental findings within the scan.
