Giant Radicular Cyst of the Pediatric Anterior Maxilla: A Rare Case.
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
Radicular cysts are inflammatory odontogenic cysts that arise from nonvital teeth due to proliferation of the epithelial rests of Malassez. Although they are commonly seen in adults, their occurrence in younger individuals is rare. This case describes a 13-year-old male who presented with pain, swelling, and pus discharge in the left maxillary region, associated with trauma-induced nonvital teeth. Radiographic evaluation revealed a well-defined radiolucent lesion extending into the maxillary sinus with displacement of adjacent structures. The involved teeth were managed with endodontic treatment, followed by surgical enucleation of the lesion and chemical cauterization using 5-fluorouracil. Postoperative healing was uneventful, with preservation of surrounding anatomical structures. This case highlights the consequences of delayed intervention, which led to the formation of a large cyst and subsequent infection. It underscores the importance of timely and effective management of radicular cysts in young patients to prevent extensive structural damage.
