Aggressive Neoplasms That Mimic Chronic Endodontic Lesions: A Multi-Institutional Case Series.

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
This study aimed to report sociodemographic, clinicopathologic and radiological features of 12 cases of aggressive neoplasms that were clinically diagnosed as chronic endodontic lesions. The series comprised seven females (58.33%) and five males (41.67%), with a mean age of 48.9 ± 19.19 years (range: 16-75 years). In six cases (50%), the posterior maxillary region was involved. Internal appearance was radiolucent density (n = 12/100%). Eleven cases (91.67%) exhibited well-defined borders, while one (8.33%) showed ill-defined borders. Histopathologic diagnoses included metastasis (n = 4/33.33%), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 3/25%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (n = 2/16.68%), acinic cell carcinoma (n = 1/8.33%), Ewing's sarcoma (n = 1/8.33%) and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (n = 1/8.33%). Survival status was retrieved for three patients (25.00%), all of whom were alive at the time of reporting. This study identified seven distinct histological types of aggressive neoplasms that mimic chronic periapical lesions. Given that such lesions often lack clinical or radiological signs of aggressive behaviour, it is imperative that all excised tissue undergo histopathological examination.
