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

Odontoma is one of the most frequent odontogenic tumors, and most cases occur in pediatric patients. A panoramic examination of an 11-year-old boy presenting with a chief complaint of dental caries revealed delayed eruption of the maxillary right second molar and a radiolucency around the crown. In addition, cone-beam computed tomography revealed slight calcifications within a cystic lesion measuring 20 × 18 × 13 mm, and demonstrated root resorption of the first molar. Following root canal treatment of the first molar, the lesion was removed under general anesthesia. Histological findings of the resected lesion confirmed the diagnosis of a developing odontoma. This report highlights the importance of early detection of odontomas through radiographic examination.
