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

Rationale: Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare mixed odontogenic tumour with a preferential location in the posterior mandible and with a variety of radiological aspects. We report two clinical cases of AFO in two rare locations and with unusual radiological aspects. Patient Concerns: The first patient is a 37-year-old female with an asymptomatic intraoral swelling located in the anterior mandibular. The second patient is a 16-year-old girl with a chief complaint of missing maxillary canine. Diagnosis: Both cases were diagnosed with AFO. Treatment: For the first patient, a biopsy was performed, and for the second one, the lesion was surgically excised. Outcomes: The first patient is under regular surveillance and the other was followed up for one year without any evidence of recurrences. Take-away Lessons: Despite many efforts, the nature, histology and therapy of these lesions remain very confusing.
