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

backgroundSchwannomas are benign, encapsulated, peripheral nerve tumours that arise from the Schwann cell. Approximately 25%-45% of schwannomas occur in the head and neck. The most common site is the parapharyngeal space of the neck. However, schwannoma of the supraglottic oropharynx is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on a 35-year-old female who complained of progressive dysphagia, from whom a large schwannoma in the supraglottic oropharynx was excised through a transoral approach. No recurrence was seen after one year follow-up.

conclusionAlthough rare, schwannomas do occasionally occur in the supraglottic oropharynx. When dysphagia is present, a thorough diagnostic procedure should be performed to evaluate the morphology and function of the upper aerodigestive tract. MRI is sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of schwannoma. And the best treatment of choice is complete excision with preservation of functions.
