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

Background: Odontogenic tumors constitute a rare group of lesions with diverse characteristics originating from tooth-forming tissues, primarily within the maxillofacial region. Variations in incidence across populations in India and with changes incorporated in successive World Health Organization (WHO) classifications, necessitate continued research to understand their epidemiology. Objective: This retrospective study aims to provide an extensive analysis of Odontogenic tumors reported in a dental institute in Gujarat, India, using the 5 Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on archived histopathological records from the Oral Pathology department of our institute, spanning from 1966 to 2023. This analysis focused on demographic details, tumor types, and their distribution. The data were reclassified according to the WHO 5 Results: Among 10,907 biopsies, 501 cases (4.6%) were diagnosed as Odontogenic tumors, with 97.6% being benign. Benign epithelial tumors, predominantly Ameloblastoma (68.9%) was most common. Supporting their rare occurrence malignant cases included Ameloblastic carcinoma (2.2%) and Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma (0.2%). An overall male predominance (51.7%) was noted, with female dominance in Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor (60%), Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma (62.5%), Odontogenic fibroma (91%), and Odontogenic Myxoma (66.7%). Most cases occurred in the third decade (27.1%), with a notable mandibular predominance (78%). Conclusion: The findings contribute to the understanding of Odontogenic tumors epidemiology, emphasizing the importance of further regional studies and adapting to evolving classifications for accurate assessments and cross-population comparisons.
