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

Myoepitheliomas are rare tumours of salivary glands arising from myoepithelial cells, which are normal constituent of the salivary acini and ducts and are found between the epithelial cells and the basement membrane. The most common site of origin of Myoepitheliomas are the salivary glands and rarely other sites in the head and neck have been described in literature. Myoepithelioma arising from parapharyngeal space provide both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present such a case and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
