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

Intraosseous hemangioma of the mandible is a rare benign vascular tumor, accounting for less than 1% of primary bone tumors, and is exceptionally uncommon in pediatric and adolescent populations. Owing to its nonspecific clinical presentation and variable radiographic appearance, it is frequently misdiagnosed as an odontogenic lesion, posing a significant risk of intraoperative hemorrhage. We report three cases of intraosseous cavernous hemangioma of the mandible in an 11-year-old female, a nine-year-old male, and a 14-year-old female presenting with painless mandibular swelling and facial asymmetry. Radiographic features ranged from a classic sunburst pattern to multilocular radiolucency and osteolytic lesions with hypervascular soft-tissue components. Aspiration and computed tomography with angiographic evaluation played a crucial role in identifying the vascular nature of the lesions. All patients were successfully managed with segmental mandibulectomy following vascular control and appropriate reconstruction. Histopathological examination confirmed cavernous hemangioma in all cases. This case series highlights the importance of considering intraosseous hemangioma in the differential diagnosis of mandibular lesions in young patients and emphasizes the critical role of angiographic evaluation and preoperative planning in preventing life-threatening hemorrhagic complications.
