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

In this article, we described a mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) located in the left forearm of a 39-year-old pregnant woman. Here, the patient had a superficial tip size apophysis nearly 3 years, which begin to sustained growth after pregnant in 2012, and stopped growth after childbirth. MEC is a rare malignant tumor. Previously reports showed it mainly arise from the salivary, bronchial, thyroid, breast, lacrimal gland and conjunctiva. Here, we reported a case of MEC arising from the forearm gland for the first time. Histological finding showed a cystic and solid tumor in fibrous tissue below the squamous epithelium, and some columnar or cuboidal mucous cells covering on the epidermal cells or mixed with epidermal cells included in the tumor tissues. Also, Focal hyperplasia epidermal cells with round or oval nucleus in center were distributed in small pieces but no keratosis. The tumor tissues were immunopositive for CEA, P63, ki-67 (10%), CK7 and CK5/6, and immunonegative for CK20 and GCDFP-15. This case is a low-grade MEC and the patient's postoperative recovery is smooth.
