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.
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
backgroundNeck tumors are challenging regarding the diagnostic and therapeutic management particularly in cases of malignant growth near relevant vessels to achieve R0 resection status and the best prognosis.
aimThe aim of this case report on a patient with a rare malignant tumor of the glomus caroticum (paraganglioma) is to present the successful outcome of a demanding interdisciplinary surgical approach (otorhinolaryngology and vascular surgery). Surgical re-intervention was necessary due to malignant tumor growth (detected in the histopathological investigation of the first specimen) including vascular resection using a hybrid graft for vascular reconstruction of the internal carotid artery near the skull base. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old male patient underwent magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography to clarify the diagnosis of a tumor in the right neck. This was preoperatively embolized and subsequently resected including vascular reconstruction using a prosthetic interposition graft (7 cm; W.L. Gore, Putzbrunn, Germany) between the common and internal carotid arteries. HISTOLOGY: malignant paraganglioma 40 mm in diameter with haemangiosis et lymphangiosis carcinomatosa demonstrating lymph node metastasis and prompting re-operation (neck dissection levels II, III, IV, V). This was followed by a novel vascular reconstruction using a GORE® hybrid vascular graft prosthetic stent (W.L. Gore) as interposition graft because of the short extracranial stump of the distal internal carotid artery near the skull base and to limit clamping time. Early postoperative outcome revealed no complications and after 24 months there were no signs or symptoms of recurrent tumor growth.
conclusionExtended resections, if necessary including vascular (arterial) segments, aim at achieving R0 classification as shown in this extremely rare and usually challenging malignant tumor. Hybrid vascular prostheses are suitable for time-saving vascular reconstruction (>50%) to provide sufficient blood supply.
