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
objectivesTo present a case of sino-nasal destructive mass initially diagnosed as an inflammatory lesion following punch biopsy from the lesion however the post surgical histopathology was diagnostic of Grade 2 angiocentric immunoproliferative lesion (AIL). The reasons for the initial misdiagnosis are analyzed. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 76-year-old male patient presenting with progressive bilateral nasal obstruction for 1 year. Repeated punch biopsies from the mass were suggestive of an inflammatory lesion.
resultThe patient underwent surgical exenteration of the mass and the final histopathology report suggested AIL Grade 2. The patient was thereafter treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
conclusionInitial superficial punch biopsies lead to incorrect diagnosis leading to an unnecessary surgical exenteration. The explanations for the initial misdiagnosis are given below and appropriate diagnostic protocols, mode and depth of biopsy are suggested based on the case study.
