Dilated Odontoma of the Mandible: A Rare Case Report with Discussion about the Differential Diagnosis.
Article in Journal of dentistry (Shiraz, Iran), 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
Dilated odontoma is a rare developmental anomaly considered the most severe form of dens invaginatus (dense in dente). It results from a deep enamel-lined invagination into the dental papilla before mineralization, forming a ring-shaped radiopaque mass with a radiolucent center. Anterior mandibular involvement is uncommon. Familiarity with the radiographic features of this lesion is crucial for dental practitioners to make an accurate diagnosis. We report a case of a 12-year-old girl with a painless bony hard swelling in the anterior mandible. Panoramic radiograph revealed a well-defined, doughnut-like radiopaque lesion along with an unerupted permanent canine. The provisional diagnosis was dilated odontoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. The treatment plan consisted of surgical removal of the lesion, followed by histopathologic study to confirm the initial diagnosis. Dilated odontoma may lead to permanent tooth impaction, particularly in atypical locations such as the mandible. It is recommended that the order of tooth eruption in the mixed dentition age group be carefully evaluated.
