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

Statment of the Problem: Podoplanin can indicate the lymphangiogenesis. On the other hand, lymphangiogenesis affects the biological behavior of lesions. The clinical behavior of odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) and dentigerous cysts (DC) is different. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin and to investigate lymphangiogenesis in OKCs as compared to DCs. Materials and Method: In this experimental laboratory study, sixty paraffined blocks, including 30 OKC and 30 DC samples, were examined in this study, all of which were histopathologically non-inflamed. To evaluate lymphangiogenesis, the immunohistochemical reaction of D2-40 was evaluated via cytoplasmic and membrane staining of lymphatic endothelial cells. The expression of podoplanin in the epithelial cells of two cyst groups was also examined. To analyze the collected data and compare the results between the two groups of cysts, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test were performed in SPSS version 22. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: The mean lymph node count and podoplanin expression were significantly higher in the OKC epithelium as compared to DC ( Conclusion: The rate of lymphangiogenesis and podoplanin expression in the epithelium were higher in OKCs compared to DCs. According to the results, the expression of podoplanin may be a useful marker for determining the invasiveness and proliferation of OKC.
