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

Bone cysts involving the maxillary sinus are frequently observed, and controlling bleeding from the maxillary or posterior superior alveolar arteries is extremely difficult when the surgical site extends into the palatine fossa or the wing socket behind the maxillary sinus. In this report, we describe a case wherein preoperative endovascular arterial embolization prevented bleeding owing to an unexpected vascular injury that occurred during the removal of a dentigerous cyst from the maxillary sinus. This resulted in a safe operation with less intraoperative bleeding. Although this approach carries the risk of complications, such as paralysis, around the affected area, the likelihood of such complications is low. This approach is useful for performing a safe surgery with minimal blood loss because it avoids the need for emergency hemostasis for major intraoperative hemorrhage.
