Ameloblastoma, a Potential Diagnostic Pitfall in Head-Neck Oncology: An Experience From a Tertiary Cancer Care Institute.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 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
Introduction: The significant bulk of oncopathology cases coming from head-neck surgery comprise cases of squamous cell carcinoma, particularly from an Indian perspective, due to indulgence in the habit of tobacco chewing. Odontogenic tumours, though not very uncommon, often remain outside clinical suspicion. Case details: Here, we describe four cases of ameloblastoma initially misdiagnosed as other malignant entities. Two of the cases were associated with mandible, two others arose from uncommon location; one from maxilla presenting as a palatal mass and the other from sinonasal cavity. Conclusion: With its diverse histomorphological spectrum, ameloblastoma can be quite confusing in small biopsy specimens in head-neck oncology and can be easily misdiagnosed if not included in the differentials. Virtually in every odd cases of head-neck neoplasm with bony involvement, this differential should be borne in mind to alleviate the hazard of misdiagnosing it as malignancy.
