Congenital Sublingual Dermoid Cyst Mimicking a Recurrent Ranula in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In pediatrics, sublingual lesions are not a common disease. Due to the similarity in their clinical and radiological features, they present a diagnostic challenge. Despite the advancement in imaging techniques, the accurate preoperative diagnosis of sublingual lesions may fail. In this study, we present a case of a 13-year-old male referred to our surgical department with a recurrent painless mass in the floor of the mouth, which had been previously diagnosed as a ranula and treated at another medical facility. However, the patient experienced a recurrence six months later. Upon examination, a firm left sublingual mass extending into the neck was detected. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which was suggestive of a ranula. The lesion was surgically excised transorally, and histopathological examination unexpectedly revealed the diagnosis of a dermoid cyst. This case highlights the importance of considering dermoid cysts when a sublingual lesion is encountered, emphasizing the need for histopathology to confirm the diagnosis.
