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
Background and Objectives: Odontogenic tumors (OTs) constitute a heterogeneous group of lesions with variable clinical and pathological features. This study aimed to determine the frequency of OTs in the Nigerian population. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of histological results of the OTs diagnosed between 2015 and 2024. The information gathered included the age and sex of the patient, location of the lesion, and histological diagnosis. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 29 computer program. Results: Of the 860 histological reports of patients with oral and maxillofacial lesions, 250 (29.1%) were diagnosed with OTs. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.1. The patients' ages at diagnosis ranged from 4 to 88 years (mean age of 32.41 years). The most common benign tumor was ameloblastoma ( Conclusion: OTs account for one-third of all orofacial lesions in Nigeria. There is a slight predilection for females and young adults are more affected.
