Intraosseous myofibroma of the mandible in a 15 year old: case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Myofibromas are rare, benign spindle cell tumours occuring in the first two decades of life, with predilection for the head and neck region. Intraosseous myofibromas of the mandible are exceptionally rare, with fewer than 50 reported cases. We describe the case of a 15-year-old male with an enlarging, painless oral mass causing third molar displacement. Examination revealed an exophytic sublingual lesion with a necrotic surface. Imaging demonstrated a well-defined osteolytic lesion in the mandibular body with soft tissue extension. Biopsy confirmed intraosseous myofibroma, characterized by bland spindle cell proliferation and hemangiopericytoma-like vasculature. The patient underwent a marginal mandibulectomy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful; follow-up imaging at 6 months confirmed no recurrence. Oral rehabilitation is ongoing. This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in treating rare mandibular tumours. Surgical resection remains the definitive treatment.
