Extrafollicular Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor in the Maxilla: A Case Report Highlighting the Hamartoma versus Neoplasm Debate.

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
The pathologies that arise from the odontogenic apparatus may be categorized into infections, cystic lesions, neoplasms, and even developmental/hamartomatous lesions. The nature of a hamartoma is characterized by slow growth potential, microscopic appearance of unencapsulated mature cells, and it is associated with chromosomal aberrations. Whereas the neoplasm signifies an abnormal and uncontrolled proliferation of cells that originate from a single cells or a clone. Many odontogenic lesions are still under controversy of being classified as hamartomatous lesions because of their biological behavior and limited growth potential. This report presents the case of an 18-year-old female with an asymptomatic intraoral swelling over the left maxillary anterior region; radiographs reveal a unilocular radiolucency associated with the roots of the left maxillary lateral incisor and canine. Histologically, the lesion was consistent with the diagnosis of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT; extrafollicular type). AOT is a rare benign odontogenic tumor; it shows characteristics of both hamartoma and true neoplasm. This case report emphasizes its clinical presentation as well as its categorization among hamartomatous and true neoplastic odontogenic lesions.
