Peripheral Odontogenic Keratocyst Presenting as a Gingival Nodular Mass in the Anterior Mandible: A Case Report.

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
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is an odontogenic cyst with a high recurrence rate due to its tumor-like characteristics, such as proliferative activity and daughter cyst formation. OKC is generally regarded as an intraosseous lesion; it may rarely occur as a peripheral lesion. We present the case of a 73-year-old man who presented with a nodular mass on the gingiva of his mandibular anterior teeth and complained of discomfort. Intraoral examination revealed a dark red nodular mass 1.5 cm in size on the gingiva of the left mandibular central incisor. The lesion was completely excised under local anesthesia. The histopathological diagnosis was OKC. There was no intervening bone wall between the oral mucosa and the cyst wall; thus, the lesion was considered a peripheral OKC. This case report confirms that peripheral OKC is rare and requires careful attention in the differential diagnosis of gingival lesions.
