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

Dermoid cysts of the oral floor are rare cystic lesions of the oral cavity characterized by ectodermal-derived tissue. Normally, lesions appear round or ovoid on imaging. We report a rare case of a gourd-shaped dermoid cyst on the oral floor. An 11-year-old boy with a painless swelling in the oral floor and submental region was referred to our hospital, and magnetic resonance image presented a ground-shaped lesion through the bilateral mylohyoids. A cystic lesion was suspected, and excision was performed under general anesthesia. The excised lesion was then gourd. Pathological examination revealed a dermoid cyst. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed.
