Desmoplastic Fibroma of the Mandible in a 10-Year-Old Female Patient: A Case Report.
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
Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an extremely rare benign intraosseous tumor of mesenchymal origin that exhibits locally aggressive behavior with a high recurrence rate. Although mainly affecting patients between the second and third decades of life, it rarely involves the jaw bones, with the mandible being the most affected. Complete surgical removal of DF may require curettage or resection of the surrounding bone to prevent recurrence. This article reports the case of a 10-year-old girl who was referred to our department by a dentist for the evaluation of a painless swelling at the left angle of the mandible. Following radiographic examination (orthopantomogram and CT scan) and incisional biopsy, the patient was successfully submitted to tumor excision and curettage of the adjacent mandibular bone. Complete osseous healing was confirmed on the patient's follow-up examination one year postoperatively. Although DF of the jaws represents a diagnostic (mimicking a variety of fibro-osseous lesions) and therapeutic (due to its locally aggressive behavior) challenge, early detection, corroborated by histopathological examination, along with prompt surgical removal within clear margins, may ensure minimal recurrence.
