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

Tubular apocrine adenoma is a rare benign adnexal neoplasm most commonly identified in the scalp, composed of a dermal proliferation of apocrine tubules in a background of hyalinized stroma. Tubular apocrine adenoma can be a component of various sweat gland tumors and can also morphologically overlap with other sweat gland neoplasms. Isolated tubular apocrine adenoma arising in the glands of Moll is exceedingly rare, with only 4 previously reported cases. We present a 63-year-old male with tubular apocrine adenoma of the left upper eyelid, which recurred following initial incomplete excision. Although the lesion showed focal morphologic similarity to the apocrine variant of pleomorphic adenoma (chondroid syringoma), the diagnosis of tubular apocrine adenoma was supported by fluorescence in situ hybridization studies, which demonstrated absence of
