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

backgroundAiCC is a primarily indolent disease process. Our aim with this study is to determine characteristics consistent with rapidly progressive AiCC of the parotid gland.

aimTo report on patients with metastatic lung disease from AiCC and potential correlative factors.

methodsSingle-institution retrospective review of patients treated at the University of Michigan between 2000 and 2017. Univariate analyses were performed.

resultsA total of 55 patients were identified. There were 6 patients (10.9%) with primary AiCC of the parotid gland who developed lung metastases. The mean age at diagnosis for patients with lung metastases was 57.8 years of age, in comparison to 40.2 years for those without metastases (

conclusionAiCC of the parotid gland is viewed as a low-grade neoplasm with good curative outcomes and low likelihood of metastasis. With metastasis, however, it does exhibit a tendency to spread to the lungs. These patients thereby comprise a unique and understudied patient population. In this retrospective study, factors that have been shown to be statistically significant in association with worse disease-free survival and overall survival include presence of gross facial nerve invasion, higher T-classification, and high-grade disease.
