Odontogenic Keratocysts in the Anterior Midline Region: A Case Series and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical 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
This case series describes three midline odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and reviews the associated literature. All three patients were male; two lesions were maxillary. All lesions were surgically excised, with no recurrence. A search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus identified 33 reported cases of midline OKC, including this series. Of these, 64% (21/33) were male, and age ranged from 6 to 80 years (mean 39.8 ± 20.3). The mandible was affected in 67% (22/33). Excision was the predominant treatment (94%, 31/33), with adjunctive cauterization in 30% (10/33) and decompression in 15% (5/33). Among cases with available follow-up, one recurrence was reported. OKC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of midline jaw lesions, supported by combined clinical, radiographic, and histopathological assessment.
