Surgical Management of Dentigerous Cyst: A Silent Pathology With Destructive Potential.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts associated with the crowns of unerupted teeth and are often detected incidentally due to their asymptomatic nature. This case series presents three patients with radiolucent lesions associated with impacted teeth, all of which were clinically silent yet demonstrated significant cystic expansion on radiographic examination. Surgical enucleation of the cysts along with the extraction of the associated impacted teeth was performed in all cases, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst. Postoperative follow-up revealed satisfactory bone healing with no evidence of recurrence. These cases highlight the potential for dentigerous cysts to grow silently and cause considerable bone destruction, underscoring the importance of routine radiographic evaluation, early diagnosis, and timely surgical management to prevent complications and ensure favorable outcomes.
