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

rationaleGanglioneuroblastoma is usually located in the adrenal gland, retroperitoneal ganglia, or posterior mediastinum, but rarely occurs in the parapharyngeal space. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 4-year-old girl presented with complaint of progressive inspiratory dyspnea and dysphagia, accompanying left-side Horner's syndrome. DIAGNOSE: Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a giant mass with irregular low density in left oropharyngeal and posterior pharyngeal wall. The left carotid artery sheath was pushed to the right. After enhancement, the central part of the mass was strengthened, and the surrounding bones structures appeard normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a solid mass in the left parapharyngeal space displacing the left carotid sheath posteriorly and laterally. A ganglioneuroblastoma was diagnosed. INTERVATIONS: The girl was treated by surgery. OUTCOMES: The postoperative course was uneventful. There was no recurrence was observed during the 1-year follow-up. LESSONS: The primary cervical ganglioneuroblastoma is rare, we recommended the ganglioneuroblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child presenting with a parapharyngeal space mass.
