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

We are reporting a case of recurrent myoepithelioma of the parotid gland, that emerged as a cutaneous mass. She had a retroauricular subcutaneous mass with an underlying diagnosis of a cutaneous myoepithelioma, which was excised at a hospital's Dermatology Department 2 years earlier. The tumour was observed above the platysma and it was considered as a cutaneous myoepithelioma without the parotid gland structures. She had undergone a partial parotidectomy approximately 20 years earlier. At her first visit to our department, there was no evidence of facial nerve palsy or cervical lymphadenopathy. The radiological findings showed a multinodular growing mass of the parotid gland, just beneath the retroauricular skin and a total parotidectomy was performed. It was considered that even if the cutaneous mass emerged, the relationship between the cutaneous mass and the parotid gland should be pre-surgically examined by computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic resonance image (MRI). A long-term continuous follow-up was also needed.
