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

Angioleiomyomas are infrequent benign tumors originating from smooth muscle cells of arterial or venous walls. They are most commonly seen in the lower extremities with a prevalence of only 8.5% in the head and neck. We present the case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented to Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, with recurrent episodes of right-sided epistaxis. A computed tomography scan showed an enlarged right inferior turbinate filling the right nasal cavity. The mass was removed endoscopically and sent to pathology. A diagnosis of angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity was made. This location that has only been described in a minority of cases in the literature. Our case report signifies the importance of maintaining a broad differential when dealing with patients presenting with nasal mass and the importance of histopathological examination for the diagnosis.
