Silent Jaw Expansion: A Rare Case of Posterior Maxillary Ameloblastoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumour that develops from the epithelial remains of the dental lamina. It is a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm that typically manifests as slow-growing tumours in the jaw, with posterior maxilla ameloblastoma being the rarer occurrence compared to mandibular ameloblastoma. This case report is about a 46-year-old Malay man who presented with a two-month history of left palatal and cheek swelling, along with symptoms such as left eye blurring, nasal block, and dysphagia. Imaging revealed a massive cystic lesion in the left maxillary sinus, which was diagnosed as a multicystic ameloblastoma after biopsy. The patient underwent surgical resection with a partial maxillectomy and was treated postoperatively with antibiotics, steroids, and regular follow-up appointments. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient was given a dental obturator to cover the defect intraorally. He is currently under annual surveillance with no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
