Osteopoikilosis in the Mandible.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare benign bone dysplasia characterized by the presence of multiple radiodense patches scattered throughout the skeleton's trabecular bone. It presents as small well-demarcated bone lesions of variable sizes and of a sclerotic nature. OPK is a benign bone pathology that requires no treatment but monitoring and management of possible symptoms. This case highlights the incidental finding of an asymptomatic OPK in the mandible of a patient seeking orthodontic treatment; OPK manifestation in the mandible was rarely reported before. Radiologic and clinical diagnoses, along with the family history, confirmed the differential diagnosis of OPK. Such a differential diagnosis includes a range of serious conditions such as osteoblastic metastasis and tuberous sclerosis, making the correct diagnosis of OPK essential for overtreatment prevention. Treatment consisted of patient education, follow-up, and anti-inflammatory drugs in case of symptomatic flare-ups. This article reports on a case of OPK presenting lesions in the mandible as well as in other bones of the skeleton; such a manifestation of OPK in the cranium and specifically in the mandible is considered extremely rare.
