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

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is an uncommon lesion accounting for less than 1% of all odontogenic cysts. This pathology commonly affects the anterior jaw and is prevalent in the second to third decades of life, with no sex predilection. The lesion presents with a variable clinical and radiographic presentation, which can simulate other common jaw pathologies. Therefore, histopathological confirmation stands to be diagnostic in COC. The fifth edition classification for jaw tumors of the head and neck by the World Health Organization has summarized the essential diagnostic criteria of COC as a jaw cyst occurring in the second to third decades of life with a strong predilection for the anterior mandible and histopathologically characterized by cystic architecture with numerous ghost cells. Here, we present three histopathologically confirmed cases of COC of the mandible, clinically suspected for ameloblastoma, lateral periodontal cyst, and radicular cyst, with emphasis on the characteristics, along with the possible diversity that the lesion can show in its histopathological sections.
