Radiolucent lesions that may resemble inflammatory periapical lesions: A review article.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Non-endodontic lesions (NEL) closely resemble lesions of endodontic origin. Its etiology can be odontogenic, non-odontogenic, neoplastic, or anatomic variations that can resemble inflammatory periapical lesions in the periapical area. Inflammatory periapical lesions are caused by pulpal pathoses and require endodontic treatment. Since numerous NEL may resemble inflammatory periapical lesions, they can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate management. Thus, a detailed review of the patients' medical and dental histories with clinical examination, including radiographic findings, is essential for the proper assessment of periapical lesions. Numerous cases of misdiagnoses of NEL have been reported in literature. Thus, this review aimed to strengthen the awareness of clinicians on periapical radiolucency, which may resemble inflammatory periapical lesions.
