The Outcome of Multidisciplinary Management of Carotid Body Tumors: Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundCarotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare paraganglionic hyper-vascular tumor of the carotid body. The standard treatment for CBTs is surgery, but it involves risk. The study is aimed to assess the CBTs and evaluate the outcome of multidisciplinary management. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study included patients with CBTs who were managed by surgical excision between May 2006 and April 2018. A multidisciplinary team was established to excise the tumor completely with minimal neurovascular compromise.
resultsThe study comprised of 32 patients in the age group of 23-65 years. The main presentation was a unilateral painless neck mass. Six cases (18.75%) were Shamblin I, 10 (31.25%) Shamblin II and 16 (50%) Shamblin III. Complete excision was performed for all cases. Ligation of the external carotid artery was done in 15 cases (46.88%) and repair of the internal carotid artery in 6 (18.75%). Postoperative cranial nerve complications occurred in six patients (18.75%): four transient hypoglossal pareses and two hoarseness of voice. Histopathologically, one case (3.125%) was malignant. No recurrence was detected through the follow-up period.
conclusionA multidisciplinary approach is essential for management of CBTs. Early diagnosis and surgical resection minimize morbidity and carry good surgical outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR1800018722 (
