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

introductionBronchogenic cysts are rare malformations, mostly diagnosed in children. We report the rare case of a neck bronchogenic cyst diagnosed in an elderly patient. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The patient complained of a long-standing submental mass. The diagnostic work-up resulted in a thyroglossal duct cyst diagnosis for which the patient underwent a Sistrunk procedure. However, the histological analysis of the lesion ultimately revealed a bronchogenic cyst. DISCUSSION: Neck bronchogenic cysts are rare and, in adults, normally asymptomatic. Imaging exams can suggest the diagnosis but they are most important for surgical planning. Surgery is the elected treatment for bronchogenic cysts and the histopathologic exam of the specimen provides definitive diagnosis.

conclusionThis case demonstrates than even though they are a rare diagnosis, bronchogenic cysts should be considered in the diagnostic work-up of neck cysts, even in elderly patients.
