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

ACC derived from nasopharyngeal epithelial cells is rare, usually benign. In this article, we reported a nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (NACC) in a 31-year-old woman with a symptom of hoarseness, headache, epistaxis slightly, diplopia, facial numbness and dysphagia near 3 months. A tumor on the right side of the nasopharynx was confirmed by laryngoscope check and MRI of the skull base. Histopathological findings showed that tumor cells were arranged in cord-like or acinar-like by atypical hyperplastic epithelial cells forming a cribriform and tubular pattern, and immunohistochemical findings showed that tumor tissues were immunopositive for p63 (+), CK7 (+), CK19 (+), CK8 (+), CK18 (+), SMA (+), CK (+), p53 (++), S-100 (+) and Ki-67 (5%+), and negative for CD34 (-), CK5/6 (-), CEA (-) and CD117 (-). Patient was treated by surgical operation and radiotherapy, and was followed-up near 10 months, no local recurrence and distant metastasis.
