Rare mandibular metastasis of neuroblastoma in a child: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 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
Although neuroblastoma is a common malignant tumor in children and distant metastases are frequently observed, involvement of the mandible remains rare. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy presenting with a right mandibular mass associated with an oral lesion in the region of tooth 46, suggestive of a secondary lesion. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis, whereas imaging initially suggested lymphoma, soft tissue sarcoma, or osteosarcoma. Staging work-up revealed an adrenal neuroblastoma with multiple bone metastases. Given the extent of tumor involvement and the advanced stage of the disease, palliative chemotherapy was initiated. The clinical course was unfavorable, marked by the development of additional disseminated metastases, leading to the patient's death 14 months after the diagnosis of mandibular metastasis. This case highlights the importance of early multidisciplinary collaboration between pediatric dentistry and pediatric oncology teams to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic management in such patients.
