An odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract in an unusual site with multiple misdiagnoses.

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
Key Clinical Message: Dental clinicians and physicians should be careful in differential diagnosis of facial cutaneous nodules, since they might have an odontogenic origin. Abstract: Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts are commonly misdiagnosed and mismanaged; thus, they are prone to recurrence. Herein, a 21-year-old female patient is reported with a red fluctuant nodule on her right cheek which had been misdiagnosed as an epidermoid cyst, cystic acne, and parotid gland fistula. The odontogenic origin of the lesion was first suspected when the patient presented to the Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry for a routine dental check-up. Multiple-visit non-surgical root canal retreatment of the maxillary right first molar, without any additional treatment, resulted in shrinkage of the lesion. After 1 year, the lesion was resolved completely, the respective tooth and the cheek were asymptomatic, and the patient had no complaint.
