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

objectivesFor lesions in the salivary glands, ultrasonography (US) is an ideal tool for initial assessment. The aim of this study was to characterize and differentiate between the Gray scale and Doppler US findings of intracapsular carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (Ic-CxPA) and invasive carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (Inv-CxPA).

methodsA total of 87 patients (89 lesions) with histopathologically proven CxPA underwent US examination. The following characteristics were assessed on US images: size, shape, border, echogenicity, echo texture, posterior echo, vascularity, and regional lymph node enlargement. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), nonparametric test, Fisher's exact test, chi-square test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for the analyses of the US findings of Ic-CxPAs and Inv-CxPAs.

resultsWe found that on US images, nearly all Ic-CxPAs (10/11) and a few of Inv-CxPAs (17/78) showed benign features, such as a regular shape, a well-defined border, and enhancement of posterior echo, while most Inv-CxPAs (61/78) showed one or more following features: an irregular shape, an ill-defined border, and lack of enhancement of posterior echo.

conclusionsIc-CxPAs tended to exhibit benign features, whereas most Inv-CxPAs tended to exhibit one or more invasive features. US can provide strong evidence in differentiating Inv-CxPAs from Ic-CxPAs.
