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

backgroundMyoepitheliomas are uncommon salivary gland neoplasms consisting entirely or predominantly of cells with myoepithelial phenotype. They commonly involve the parotid gland and the minor salivary glands of the palate.

aimA case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the hard palate is described. CASE DESCRIPTION AND

resultsA 55-year-old woman presented to her oral surgeon with a tumor on the hard palate. Microscopic examination showed a well-circumscribed but non-encapsulated tumor, consisting mostly of plasmacytoid cells in a loose fibrovascular stroma. Neoplastic myoepithelial cells showed immunoreactivity for S-100 protein, CK AE1/AE3 (Figure 5b), GFAP, calponin, and CD138/Syndecan-1. Total excision of the tumor under local anesthesia was performed and no recurrence was noted 14 months after treatment.

conclusionsSince plasmacytoid myoepithelioma is uncommon, minor salivary glands, its immunohistochemical features, management and prognosis should be further investigated.
