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

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT), a variant of the calcifying odontogenic cyst, is considered to be a benign epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm containing aberrant epithelial keratinization, ghost cells, and spherical calcifications. While there can be peripheral and central variants of this entity, the extraosseous type is rarer and usually innocuous in its clinical presentation. The aim of this article is to report a case of peripheral DGCT on the maxillary anterior region in a 14-year-old female evolving for 5 years and to emphasize the importance of histopathologic examination of gingival growths to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. A compilation of all reported cases in the English literature till date with details on the site, size, age sex, symptoms radiographic features, treatment follow-up, and recurrences has been attempted for better understanding of the biologic nature of this rare neoplasm.
