Surgical management of ossifying fibroma in a 9-year-old Hungarian Vizsla: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that primarily originates from membranous bones. While most frequently documented in equines, OF has also been reported in other species, including dogs, though it remains uncommon. The condition poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its ambiguous presentation, often requiring differentiation from other benign and malignant intraosseous lesions. This case report describes an ossifying fibroma localized to the zygomatic bone in a 9-year-old Hungarian Vizsla. A zygomatic arch ostectomy was successfully performed, and long-term follow-up was excellent. This is only the second documented case of zygomatic localization of OF in a dog, highlighting the rarity of this presentation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing OF from other proliferative fibro-osseous lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia (FD) and cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD), and considering the potential for malignancies, such as low-grade osteosarcoma (LG-OSA), to mimic these benign growths. This case contributes valuable insights to the limited veterinary literature on ossifying fibroma, particularly regarding its atypical presentations in canine patients.
