Radiologic Specific Growth Rate of Ameloblastomas: A Clinicopathological Correlation.

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
backgroundThe study aimed to assess the radiologic-specific growth rate of ameloblastomas, evaluating potential associations with demographics, radiologic features, histopathologic variants and proliferation indices. The results of this study will hopefully establish if any clinical or histopathologic features can elude fast-growing ameloblastomas.
methodsPatients presenting with multiple radiographs before surgical intervention due to various healthcare constraints or patient factors were included in the study. The measurements from each radiograph included the lesion's length, height, width and amount of expansion in these dimensions. Furthermore, the circumference of the lesion was measured in sagittal, coronal and axial planes. The radiologic-specific growth rate was assessed by calculating the difference in measurements from the initial to follow-up radiographs divided by the duration between the visits to calculate the growth rate per year.
resultsThe specific growth rate was analysed between age groups, histopathologic variants and Ki-67 values, with no statistically significant correlations found in all dimensions measured. A statistically significant faster growth (p = 0.04) was seen in females when measuring the mesial-distal length. When comparing radiologic features, ameloblastomas with loss of border demarcation, severe cortical destruction and tooth displacement demonstrated statistically significant faster growth.
conclusionThis study found significant correlations with the growth rate of ameloblastomas, specifically in coronal dimensions, supporting the notion of buccal-lingual growth/expansion for which ameloblastomas are known.
