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

purposeTo characterize and compare the radiographic and tomographic features of odontogenic lesions associated with impacted teeth in a Brazilian population.

methodsThis retrospective, cross-sectional study analyzed 31,378 cases diagnosed between 2001 and 2023 from the pathology database of a dental school. Of these, 454 cases of intraosseous odontogenic lesions associated with impacted teeth and with available plain radiographs or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were included. Demographic, clinical, and imaging variables were recorded. Agreement between imaging modalities was assessed in cases where both images were available.

resultsThe most frequent diagnoses/lesions were dentigerous cyst (57.5%), odontogenic keratocyst (25.1%) and ameloblastoma (10.8%). Lesion characteristics varied significantly by type, including internal structure, loculation, shape, and associated resorption or displacement. Comparative analysis between 2D radiographs and CBCT (n = 37) revealed high agreement (> 90%) for internal content, bone location, and resorption. However, cortical discontinuity (40.7%), cortical expansion (51.8%), and mandibular canal involvement (48.1%) showed low concordance. CBCT detected these features more reliably.

conclusionsCBCT provides superior diagnostic accuracy compared to 2D imaging, particularly for cortical and canal involvement, which may guide surgical planning and reduce the risk of complications. Its use is recommended for comprehensive evaluation of odontogenic lesions associated with impacted teeth.
