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

Background Tumors of salivary glands are enlarged as a low-risk mass and mostly benign in nature. The treatment of salivary gland malignancy remains quite challenging because of its relative infrequency, unreliable biological manners, and risk of re-emergence. For effective treatment planning, prediction of factors associated with the recurrence of salivary gland malignancy is essential. Aim The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with recurrence of salivary gland malignancy at two tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia, where data of patients were recorded from the medical records of hospitals from 2012 to 2018. 63 patients who were diagnosed with salivary gland malignancy, whether originated from parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and minor salivary glands were included in the study. Descriptive statistics are shown in mean, frequency, and percentages, while comparative analysis was done using the Chi-square test, where
