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

We report a 35-year-old woman with complaints of nasal obstruction and mild post-nasal drip for 6 months. She did not improve with medical treatment. Clinical examination had no positive finding. She was evaluated with a CT scan and MRI that revealed a polypoid mass lesion in nasopharynx without any adhesion to adjacent tissue. Endoscopic examination of nasopharynx revealed an exophytic nasopharyngeal mass in anterior wall of nasopharynx that complete macroscopic transnasal endoscopic resection was performed. The histopathological examination reported thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma that was confirmed on immunohistochemical staining. After complete macroscopic resection of the mass, patient was regularly followed-up for 6 years and there was no evidence of recurrence. This example has the educational tips of the optimal therapeutic strategies for primary nasopharyngeal adenocarcinomas with long follow-up.
