Management and recurrence of the odontogenic keratocyst: an overview of systematic reviews.
Review in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
MATERIALS AND
methodsAn extensive literature search among six eletronic databases and Grey Literature was used to identify systematic reviews (S) that could respond if: in individuals diagnosed with OKC (P), is there any influence of the treatment method (I/C) on the recurrence rate of the lesion (O)? After evaluating all titles and abstracts and then applying the eligibility criteria, the included studies were read in full, and data were extracted based on a standardized sheet ordered in the PICO sequence. The assessment of the quality of the systematic reviews included, was determined by AMSTAR2, and final synthesis were descriptively made based on the results and quality of the systematic reviews.
resultsFrom a total of 19 included systematic reviews, it was observed that the most used treatment for OKC was enucleation, followed by enucleation with adjuvant techniques and marsupialization. The mean percentage of recurrence was 16,2%, and the highest OKC recurrence rate was 43.2% after simple enucleation. The use of adjuvant techniques promoted reductions in OKC recurrence rates. The overall methodological quality of systematic reviews was critically low, and this parameter demonstrate the need for more studies to facilitate the choose of the treatment.
conclusionDespite being the most used treatment, simple enucleation is related to the highest rate of recurrence, except when performed after marsupialization/decompression. In addition, the use of adjuvant techniques has a strong impact on reducing the likelihood of recurrence. However, these findings are not conclusive because of the critically low quality of the systematic reviews.
