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

Odontogenic myxoma is an odontogenic tumor of mesenchymal origin that presents locally invasive behavior. Its treatment is surgical, and the approach can be more conservative or radical. This article presents the rehabilitation of a patient with extensive odontogenic myxoma in the mandible treated conservatively with follow-up for 14 years. A 17-year-old male patient sought care with a painless swelling in the mandibular region causing facial asymmetry. Imaging exams showed a mixed image, with intralesional septa, involving the left anterior and posterior regions of the mandible with a small remaining basilar and lingual bone. An incisional biopsy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of odontogenic myxoma. Due to the extent of the lesion, a conservative approach was chosen, with excision of the lesion and peripheral ostectomy, with recurrence of the lesion after 48 months, with a new approach being performed. After 14 years of follow-up, without further recurrence of the lesion, the patient was rehabilitated with dental implants and protocol-type prosthesis. Conservative treatment led to bone remodeling and enabled patient rehabilitation with oral implants and an implant-supported prosthesis. Thus, conservative treatment of odontogenic myxomas is a viable alternative for similar cases, and its longitudinal postoperative follow-up is essential.
