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: Nasopalatine duct cyst (NDC) is the most prevalent non-odontogenic cyst emerging from the epithelial remnants in the maxillary incisive canal. A sublabial or transpalatal approach is performed to enucleate NDC completely. More recently, transnasal endoscopic marsupialization has been used gradually. Case Presentation: A 24-year-old male patient with a large nasopalatine duct cyst with a diameter of 51 mm was managed by transnasal endoscopic marsupialization under general anesthesia. The presentation involves painless swelling around the left side of the anterior maxilla and bulging of the hard palate. No postoperative complications were observed after a 3-month follow-up. Transnasal endoscopic marsupialization is a minimally invasive surgery for large NDC. Clinical discussion: Approximately 1% of the population has a nasopalatine duct cyst. Surgical treatment was carried out under general anesthesia; the cyst was dissected and removed using a typically transnasal endoscopic marsupialization technique. Conclusion: The cause of the NDC is unclear. Simple surgical resection and clinical and radiological control are recommended to ensure the case is resolved correctly.
