Massive Infiltrative Osteolysis of the Mandible in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature.
Article in Precision radiation oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent form of oral cancer, constituting over 90% of reported cases. This malignancy commonly infiltrates bone, making bone invasion a significant clinical issue. OSCC may invade bone via either an infiltrative or erosive pattern, with the pattern of invasion closely correlating with the clinical behavior of the disease and potentially holding prognostic value. Typically, OSCC spreads to the mandibular bone through direct infiltration of the alveolar ridge or lingual cortical plate. Interestingly, only 6% of OSCC cases initially present with a primary tumor, necessitating comprehensive whole-body imaging and clinical examinations to exclude other primary tumors. This report details a rare case of long-standing OSCC of the retromolar pad, which led to infiltrative osteolysis of the mandible, culminating in the near-total disappearance of the bone in a 47-year-old male patient.
