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

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, well-encapsulated odontogenic lesion that typically presents as a slow-growing, asymptomatic mass. Surgical enucleation or curettage remains the treatment of choice due to the tumor's non-invasive nature and well-defined borders, which facilitate complete removal with minimal risk of recurrence. Interestingly, some studies have suggested that AOTs may occasionally arise within pre-existing dentigerous cysts, indicating a possible developmental relationship between the two entities. We report a case of a 10-year-old female patient presenting with a one-week history of swelling on the left side of the face. Clinical examination revealed a firm, tender swelling in the left upper buccal vestibule, extending from the maxillary lateral incisor to the second deciduous molar. The left maxillary canine was unerupted. Aspiration yielded straw-colored fluid, suggestive of a cystic lesion. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed a well-defined, unilocular radiolucency surrounding the crown of the unerupted canine, measuring approximately 2 × 2 cm and extending from the central incisor to the first molar. A provisional diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst was made. Surgical enucleation and removal of the impacted canine were performed under general anesthesia. Histopathological analysis confirmed an AOT arising from a dentigerous cyst.
