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

In the majority of cases the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is straightforward. In "monomorphic" types of PA problems may result: Epithelial-rich PA need to be distinguished from basal cell adenoma or canalicular adenoma. PA dominated by mesenchymal, spindle-shaped differentiation need to be distinguished from myoepithelioma or soft tissue tumours like schwannoma. Focal biphasic-tubular differentiation with CK7/18-positive ductal cells is good evidence for a tumour within the wide spectrum of PA. Focal peripheral pseudoinfiltration can represent physiological growth pattern of PA; this may render a difficult distinction from low-malignant carcinomas like adenoid-cystic or epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, harbouring also tubular structures. The different progression steps of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CEPA), starting with intraductal carcinoma, are highly relevant with respect to prognosis and therapy. Early stages including CEPA with minor extracapsular invasion show favourable prognosis, while cases with extensive extracapsular invasion carry a dismal prognosis.
