Carcinoma Cuniculatum of the Maxilla Arising From Oroantral Fistula: A Report of an Extremely Rare Case.

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
Carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is extremely rare in the maxilla. Here, we report a case of CC arising from an oroantral fistula (OAF). The patient was a 70-year-old Japanese man who was followed up for a non-closing OAF. Although there were no findings based on an intraoral examination, follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a 22-mm mass in the maxilla close to the OAF. Histologically, cystic and endophytic papillary proliferation of squamous epithelium with abundant keratinization mimicking rabbit burrows occupied the alveolar bone. This tumor was directly connected to the atypical proliferation of the covering epithelium of the OAF. The tumor cells showed mild cytological atypia and a few mitoses. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with CC arising from an OAF. CC is often misdiagnosed; nonetheless, the unique endophytic, branching, and tunnel-like structure is a hallmark of this tumor. We present the first well-documented case of CC arising from an OAF, discuss its diagnostic features, and highlight its differences from other common benign and malignant pathological entities.
