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

A dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare and locally aggressive benign mixed odontogenic tumor, histologically made up of ameloblast-like epithelial islands, ghost cells, and dentin-like material. This is a highly unusual example of DGCT combined with an odontoma in a 13-year-old female patient affecting the right maxilla. On radiographic examination, ill-defined radiolucency with right maxillary sinus obliteration and involvement of permanent maxillary right first and second molars were noted. The second molar was pushed towards the orbital fossa, and root resorption of the first molar is associated with multiple radiopaque masses. The excision specimen showed multiple tooth-like structures histologically, including dentin-like areas and dental pulp. Only five cases of a DGCT with an odontoma have been documented in the literature, making it a very unusual condition.
