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

Introduction: Osteophytes are osseocartilaginous structures which are commonly found in common degenerative joint diseases. It can be free or attached to nature. There is a paucity of information in the literature regarding the histopathological interpretation of osteophytes in Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). Purpose: To report the incidental finding of osteophytes in cases of chronic protracted TMJ dislocation. Material and Method: To present case of an elderly 72-year-old female and a 35-year-old male with chronic protracted TMJ dislocation who were treated surgically for their condition with an incidental finding of an osteophyte in TMJ intraoperatively. Result: The histopathological examination revealed fibrocartilaginous core tissue surrounded by bone formation due to dystrophic calcification. Conclusion: The microscopic examination is mandatory in order to study and understand the pathophysiology of an osteophyte. This study presents rare histopathological evidence of an osteophyte. It reflects the process of its formation and the possibilities of fate of an osteophyte in TMJ.
