Stafne Bone Cavity: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The typical imaging aspect of Stafne Bone Cavities is that of a radiolucent ovoid or round shape image in the posterior mandible below the nerve canal. Anyway, bilobate and bilateral lesions have been reported too, as well as lesions above the inferior alveolar canal. The etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. The aim of the present article is to review the literature about the current knowledge of this peculiar anatomical condition. Material and Methods: The current study was a comprehensive systematic review that was conducted by using databases on the following online sites: PubMed, Embase, SCOPUS, Wiley Online Library, and Ovid MEDLINE. Results: Before applying the filters, 238 publications were identified at first in the considered databases. After the application of the filters, the removal of the duplicates, and the screening process, we ended up with 39 articles that were used in our review. The prevalence of Stafne Bone Cavities oscillates between 0,03% and 3,55%. Mean age ranges between 45,4 and 60,8 years. Males outnumber females, with male:female ratios ranging between 9:4 and 11:0. The most common sites of SBC are observed in the posterior mandible, with body and/or angle regions being the most frequent localization in all studies. Discussion: A wait-and-see approach in terms of a periodic radiograph is recommended in view of the features of this entity, as in exceptional cases tumors seem to have developed in the invaginated salivary gland tissue.
