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

introductionSeromucinous hamartoma (SH) is a rare benign glandular proliferation of the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx. Only few cases have been reported in recent years. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective medical record review of seven patients diagnosed with sinonasal SH who underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery.

resultsThere were 5 males and 2 females, ranged in age from 40 to 98 years (mean 60 years, SD ± 18.9). Two lesions arise from middle turbinate, two from uncinate process, and 3 (but 4 specimens) from nasal septum. Pathological features revealed a polypoid lesion with submucosal proliferation of seromucinous glands arranged in lobular and haphazard patterns. In immunohistochemical study, the seromucinous glands of SH were reactive for cytokeratin, including CK7, CK19, HMWK, but negative for CK20.

conclusionSinonasal SH is a rare diagnosis characterized by a polypoid lesion with a haphazard proliferation of seromucinous glands. The rhinologists should consider it in the differential diagnosis of a polypoid lesion in the nasal cavity.
