Solitary Plasmacytoma Mimicking Periapical Lesion in Maxillary Teeth: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 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
This article reports a rare case of solitary bone plasmacytoma in the maxilla of a 76-year-old female patient diagnosed at an early stage. The lesion initially mimicked an endodontic infection with a sinus tract associated with teeth #22 and #23. Despite conventional endodontic treatment, no clinical improvement was observed. The patient was referred for biopsy, and histopathological analysis revealed a proliferation of plasmacytoid cells with atypia and intense leukocytic infiltrate. Immunohistochemistry confirmed monoclonality compatible with plasmacytoma. Further systemic investigation excluded multiple myeloma, leading to the final diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma. The patient underwent 20 radiotherapy sessions totaling 40 Gy and remains clinically stable under multidisciplinary follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering non-endodontic pathologies in persistent periapical lesions. Early recognition of plasmacytoma is crucial, as it may represent an initial manifestation of multiple myeloma, emphasizing the endodontist's role in accurate diagnosis and timely referral.
