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

Ameloblastomas (ABs) are rare odontogenic benign tumors. Although studies of the molecular pathogenesis have revealed the presence of mutations and altered gene expression, the etiology is unresolved. Viruses cause 10%-15 % of cancers, but their potential role within benign tumors is less studied. This study focuses on the potential presence of herpes-, parvo-, and polyomaviruses in ABs. Thirty DNA viruses comprising herpes-, parvo-, and polyomaviruses were analyzed by qPCR and Luminex-based methods in 11 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded AB samples. In repeated analyses, the ABs harbored none of the studied large set of viruses. Based on our findings a relevant role of the studied viruses seems unlikely in the pathogenesis of ABs.
