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

Non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) of jaw bones are rare. While NOF is the most common benign bone tumor of long bones with pathognomonic radiological features and bear a tendency for self-regression, gnathic NOF appears to be comparatively larger in size and behave more aggressively. A 16 years old female patient reported with painless swelling of the right side of the face of 4 months duration. Radiographic analysis showed a unilocular radiolucent lesion of right angle of the mandible with ill-defined margins, cortical perforation and thinning of inferior border. The lesion was provisionally diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst/unicystic ameloblastoma and incisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological features and immunohistochemical characteristics favored a diagnosis of NOF. The lesion was excised and reconstructed. The excised specimen confirmed the diagnosis. There are no signs of recurrence at 18 months follow-up. NOF should be considered in the differential diagnosis of uni-/multilocular radiolucencies of jaws particularly the posterior mandible.
