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

This report describes the case of a child with a congenital palatal lesion that grew rapidly in the first year of life and was found to be a supernumerary tooth. A 14-month-old male presented with a congenital midline palatal lesion visible behind his newly erupted maxillary central incisors. The lesion had been present since birth and was round, raised, firm, and covered with normal-appearing mucosa. The results from CT imaging indicated the lesion was a rudimentary tooth crown. It was excised and confirmed to be a supernumerary tooth. The patient healed without complications. Congenital palatal lesions with this appearance are most commonly hamartomas, cysts, epulides, and teratomas. Congenital midline palatal lesions are uncommon, and supernumerary teeth are not typically in the differential diagnosis. Imaging is helpful for the management of congenital palatal lesions.
