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

backgroundThe 5th edition of the W.H.O. Classification of Tumors of the Head and Neck provides a comprehensive list of odontogenic cysts and tumors highlighted by revisions in the classification and addition of new entities. Essential and desirable diagnostic criteria, in addition to immunohistochemical findings, and new molecular characteristics are presented to assist in the diagnosis. However, there are occasions when the interpretation of histopathologic findings may not lead to a definitive diagnosis especially when small incisional biopsies are evaluated. Also, lack of clinical information can hinder the diagnostic process.

methodsOdontogenic cysts and tumors listed in the 5th edition of the W.H.O. Classification of Tumors of the Head and Neck have serve as topics of discussion.

resultsThis review provides practical information to the pathologist by addressing various differential diagnostic scenarios. Also, entities are presented that have not been included in the classification or are only briefly discussed, to further assist in establishing a diagnosis.

conclusionClinical information, special and immunohistochemical stains, and molecular techniques can assist in the diagnosis of unusual and uncommon odontogenic cysts and tumors.
