Imaging of Tonsilloliths: A Comparative Analysis of Representation Across Different Radiological Modalities.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Tonsilloliths are calcifications commonly formed within the palatine tonsils, with a prevalence ranging from 10% to 40%. While typically asymptomatic, tonsilloliths can occasionally lead to complications. This case report presents a 50-year-old male with incidental bilateral radiopacity in the mandibular angle region detected on an orthopantomogram with no clinical symptoms. Advanced imaging modalities, including 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and MR-based cinematic rendering (CR), were employed for differential diagnosis of the observed radiopacity and preprocedural planning of extractions and implant placement in the context of the patient's dental pathology. The consistent visualization of tonsilloliths across various imaging modalities highlights the unique strengths of each technique in diagnosing, visualizing, and differentiating these calcifications. This multimodal approach can provide valuable insights for accurate diagnosis, effective surgical planning, and improved diagnostic confidence, even in asymptomatic patients with incidental findings.
