Unusual presentation of pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastases in the mandibular condyle: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionMandibular bone metastases should be suspected in all patients with temporomandibular joint disorder symptoms and lung cancer history. The purpose of this report is to present a case of metastasis to the mandibular condyle following pulmonary adenocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: In December 2020, a 71-year-old patient was evaluated by the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery for the presence of a large osteolytic lesion in the left mandibular condyle. There were no changes to the face or occlusion, and mandibular movements were preserved. After surgical removal, histology revealed pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastasis. DISCUSSION: To date, only 7 cases of condylar metastases are described by lung cancer. This pathology's clinical and radiological features are almost always shaded and not specific.
conclusionThis study also focuses on rare conditions, such as metastases to the mandibular condyle. It also stresses the importance of a multidisciplinary approach both in the diagnostic and therapeutic process.
