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
Follicular keratocyst is a rare variant of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), which surrounds the neck of an impacted tooth resembling a dentigerous cyst, usually diagnosed through radiographic and histological investigations. A 22-year-old female patient presented with pain in the right maxilla for the past 3 years. Intraoral examination revealed a missing right maxillary third molar. Computed tomography (CT) showed a well-defined hyperdense area in the right maxillary sinus involving the crown of an impacted right maxillary third molar within the cystic lesion. A provisional diagnosis of dentigerous cyst was made. The cystic lesion was then surgically enucleated with an impacted right maxillary third molar under general anesthesia. Histological investigation of the enucleated lesion was suggestive of a follicular keratocyst. No adverse effects or recurrence were elicited postoperatively at the 3-year follow-up. OKC, in relation to the third molar, clinically may represent any other odontogenic cysts. Histopathological examination remains the gold standard for assessing the final diagnosis and guides the selection of a definitive treatment modality.
