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

objectivesTo assess changes and factors influencing in buccolingual width and cyst cavity depth at the stoma site during marsupialization with cyst plug decompression for jaw cystic lesions. MATERIALS AND

methodsData were collected from patients who underwent marsupialization and cyst plug decompression for mandibular cystic lesions. A total of 15 cases were analyzed, including 10 odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), 1 unicystic ameloblastoma (UA), and 4 dentigerous cysts (DC). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were conducted pre-surgery (T

resultsThe Friedman two-way rank analysis and subsequent pairwise comparisons demonstrated the cyst volume significantly decreased from T

conclusionsBuccolingual width remains stable before decreasing, whereas cyst cavity depth and cyst volume decreases continuously. The larger the initial width of the stoma site, the greater change in width at the end of marsupialization. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: During marsupialization, cyst plug modifications should align with bone remodeling patterns in jaw cystic lesions. Initially, only the plug's depth is adjusted, while in later stages, both stoma width and depth are gradually reduced. This understanding can contribute to the digital prefabricated series of cyst plugs by integrating clinical insights to develop more minimally invasive treatment strategies and to appropriately lengthen the decompression period during marsupialization.
