Mandibular Intraosseous Pseudocarcinomatous Hyperplasia: A Histologic Mimic of Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Head and neck pathology, 2025. 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
Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia is a benign reactive squamous proliferation which may mimic well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, particularly when present in association with deep tissues such as bone. We report a case of a 65-year-old man who presented with left lingual mandibular pain and spontaneous lingual cortical sequestration with exposed root surfaces and a massive periapical abscess identified on CT scan. The clinical differential diagnosis included osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, primary or metastatic malignancy, periodontitis or odontogenic lesions. Histologic examination of the left mandible debridement specimen revealed proliferative squamous epithelium within the marrow space of bone, which was involved by extensive acute osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis, and Actinomyces organisms. No squamous atypia or features of malignancy were identified. P53 immunostaining showed wild-type staining pattern within the squamous epithelium, and GMSF stain was negative for fungi. The findings were consistent with mandibular intraosseous pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia. The patient was treated with a six-week course of high dose oral (500 mg) amoxicillin and experienced a favorable post-operative course. Recognition of this process is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary aggressive treatment, as this histologic mimic to carcinoma within bone can present a significant diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists.
