Window decompression surgery for the treatment of large mandibular dentigerous cysts in the mixed dentition stage: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Dentigerous cyst is a common type of odontogenic jawbone cyst in clinical practice, often involving immature permanent tooth germ in children. Traditional cyst curettage may cause damage to the developing permanent tooth germ and surrounding important anatomical structures. This article reports a case of a large mandibular dentigerous cyst in a 9-year-old female child, which was treated with negative pressure drainage through window decompression surgery. During the operation, a lateral opening drainage tube was prepared and fixed with flowable resin. The cyst significantly shrank 6 months after surgery, and by 2 years and 10 months, the affected permanent teeth spontaneously erupted. This case demonstrates that window decompression combined with negative pressure drainage is an effective method for preserving the permanent teeth and jawbone tissue in the affected area to the greatest extent possible for large mandibular dentigerous cysts in the mixed dentition stage.
