1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare tumor of odontogenic origin. A locally invasive lesion can be described by the presence of ameloblast-like epithelial islands, ghost cells, and dentinoid material. It is one of the few lesions with a predilection for the Asian population. The available literature has revealed that only 131 cases to date have been reported and published from 1968 to 2022. The following is a case report of a 25-year-old male with a tumor in the left lower back teeth region for the past 1 month. Orthopantomogram (OPG) reveals a well-defined unilocular radiolucency extending anteroposteriorly and crossing the midline. Histopathology revealed basal ameloblast-like cells and central stellate reticulum-like cells with the characteristic presence of ghost cells. The diagnosis was made based on the clinical, radiographical, and histopathological correlation and was confirmed using immunohistochemical analysis as a DGCT.
