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

Epithelial-myoepithelial tumors of the lung are rare neoplasms whose biological behavior and clinical course still remain to be defined. Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMCa) is a low-grade malignant tumour. According to literature, most commonly occurs in salivary glands, particularly in parotic gland, but it can also occur in unusual locations such as breast, lachrymal gland, nose, paranasal sinus, lung, bronchus and, as in our case, trachea. There are no many documented case reports of a primary myoepithelial carcinoma in the trachea. We report a case of a 34-year-old man diagnosed with this unusual location of an epithelial-myoepithelial tumor. The tumour was removed by segmental tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis.
