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

The sinonasal tract is a complex anatomic site, home to a wide variety of reactive, inflammatory, benign, and malignant lesions. Inflammatory polyps and papillomas are usually easily recognized by pathologists. A poorly understood lesion that has been more clearly defined in recent years is the nasal hamartoma. The epithelial subtypes include seromucinous hamartoma, respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma, and hybrid lesions. Seromucinous hamartomas have only been recognized and substantially reported over the past few years. They are a diagnostic challenge, needing to be distinguished from low grade adenocarcinomas, and are of interest because most of the basic questions about their pathophysiology remain unanswered. Herein, we present two novel cases of seromucinous hamartoma with features that partly expand the morphologic spectrum of these lesions, discuss the differential diagnosis, and review the literature to compare our findings with previously reported cases with the aim of better understanding this interesting entity.
