Management of a Traumatic Bone Cyst of the Mandible: 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
Cystic lesions of the anterior mandible in young adults present a diagnostic challenge owing to the overlapping clinical and radiographic features of odontogenic keratocysts, unicystic ameloblastomas, central giant cell lesions, and traumatic bone cysts. A 25-year-old man presented with localized pain and swelling of the anterior mandible. The left mandibular first premolar was nonvital, and panoramic radiography revealed a 2 × 3 cm well-defined radiolucent lesion with sclerotic, scalloped margins and associated external root resorption. Fine-needle aspiration cytology did not yield any fluid (dry tap). Surgical exploration revealed an empty bone cavity with minimal straw-colored fluid and no discernible epithelial linings. Histopathological examination revealed fibrous connective tissue with chronic inflammation, dystrophic calcification, and focal multinucleated giant cells, but no epithelial lining. The final diagnosis was a traumatic bone cyst of the mandible. Surgical curettage with bleeding stimulation was performed. This case underscores the need for surgical exploration and histopathology to make a definitive diagnosis, as radiographic and cytological findings alone are insufficient to distinguish traumatic bone cysts from other cystic lesions.
