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
Purpose: This report focuses on the efficacy of the Suhaim-Turayki Technique, a modified decompression procedure using dual drainage openings, in the treatment of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). Case Presentation: We present five cases (four females, one male; age range: 25-31 years) of patients treated with our novel technique for OKCs. The cysts were located primarily in the left mandible, except for one case in the anterior mandible. Two patients underwent the procedure under general anesthesia, while three were treated with local anesthesia. The cyst dimensions ranged from 5.2 to 7.3 cm in width and 1.7 to 5.8 cm in height. The procedure involved inserting a perforated Foley catheter drain (size 15 or 16) into the cystic cavity, with dual openings connected to the oral cavity for continuous drainage. Patients received weekly irrigation of the cavity, with subsequent home irrigation instructions. Follow-up intervals ranged from 6 to 12 months. Complete resolution was achieved in all cases, either with decompression alone or with an additional enucleation procedure for cyst remnants in two cases. At discharge, radiographs confirmed full bony regeneration and the absence of recurrence. Conclusion: The Suhaim-Turayki Technique proved to be a timely and effective method for managing OKCs, with complete cyst resolution and no recurrences observed during extended follow-up. This modified decompression technique is a promising alternative for patients where more invasive treatment options are not suitable or preferred.
