Anterior Maxillary Ameloblastic Fibroma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor, more frequently observed in children and adolescents. It typically develops in the posterior region of the mandible. Radiographically, it appears as a well-defined radiolucent lesion, requiring histological confirmation to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors. We report the case of an eight-year-old male patient in good general health who presented following an anterior trauma. The extraoral examination was normal, while the intraoral examination revealed the avulsion of tooth 11, a complicated enamel-dentin fracture of tooth 21, and a firm palatal swelling. Radiographic evaluation showed a unilocular radiolucent lesion containing radiopaque structures, initially suggesting a diagnosis of compound odontoma. Complete enucleation of the lesion revealed calcified components and soft tissue. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of AF. A conservative enucleation was performed due to the well-defined margins of the lesion, along with apexification of the adjacent permanent tooth 21. A six-month postoperative follow-up showed satisfactory bone healing with no signs of recurrence. Given that this fibroma presents a potential for recurrence and malignant transformation, rigorous long-term follow-up is essential. This case highlights the importance of thorough clinical, radiographic, and histological evaluation of jaw lesions in pediatric patients, as well as the necessity of long-term follow-up to ensure early detection of any complications.
