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

In the present study, we reported a 66-year-old woman with an uncommonly painful calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) in the posterior region of the left side of the maxilla. The cyst was evaluated radiographically and histopathologically. The present case showed a multilocular cyst with a mixed internal structure. The most noticeable effects on the peripheral structures were elevated maxillary sinus floor, osteomeatal complex, and nasal obstruction. To better understand the impact of COC on the trabecular pattern of the surrounding bone, we performed fractal analysis on the panoramic images pre- and post-operatively. The expansion of COC can change the trabecular pattern, which subsequently can change the fractal dimension of the area. After histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis, the cyst was surgically removed.
