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

Jawbone metastatic lesions are a diagnostic challenge because of their rarity and variable clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic characteristics. This paper presents a 57-year-old female with a chief complaint of lower face swelling. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed a multilocular radiolucency with right angle septa in the left mandibular area with cortical destruction. She had a history of right breast cancer about six years ago. Histopathologic examination revealed sheets of malignant small round cells. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was only positive for cytokeratin (CK) and GATA3. CA15-3 tumor marker was higher than the normal range. Based on the aforementioned data, the diagnosis of metastatic breast carcinoma was performed. The whole-body and computed tomography (CT) scan showed just involvement in the left mandibular area. The radiographic appearance of metastatic lesions might be misleading, and microscopic sections might be poorly differentiated, therefore, a precise past medical history, IHC staining, and tumor markers are valuable issues in diagnosing oral cavity metastasis.
