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

Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are rare congenital cystic lesions arising as a development malformation in the trachea-bronchial system during the embryonic period. The cysts mostly occur in the mediastinum, with an extremely low morbidity rate in the oromaxillofacial-head and neck region. The age distribution of patients who present with BCs shows a significant predominance towards young individuals compared with the elderly. The current study reports the case a 70-year-old female who presented with a painful mass in the right cervical region. Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound showed a heterogeneous hypodense cystic lesion accompanied by infection. A mass of gaseous density was observed on repeat CT following antibiotic therapy. The pathological examination after complete resection revealed a BC, which can also be easily misdiagnosed as common congenital cervical cysts, such as a branchial cleft cyst or a thyroglossal duct cyst, among others. There was no recurrence or any discomfort during the 34-month follow-up period.
