Imaging features of pharyngeal hairy polyps in infants.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHairy polyps are the most common congenital deformity of the oral-nasopharynx/oral cavity in infants, which may lead to severe complications in the newborns. However, few studies have been published with respect to their radiological features, and most are case reports.
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze radiological features of the oral‑nasopharyngeal hairy polyps and to identify the radiological features with the highest diagnostic value. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2014 to 2019, pediatric cases pathologically diagnosed as hairy polyps and having received radiological examination at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University were retrospectively analyzed. Radiological evaluations were conducted on tumor size, location, morphology, density or signal features as well as the enhancement pattern.
resultsA total of six infants were recruited. Clinical features observed in these cases included choking on milk with cyanosis, intermittent dyspnea, oropharyngeal mass, and snoring. Lesions were derived from the left tubal torus in three out of six cases, from the left lateral aspect of soft palate in one, from the left lateral pharyngeal wall in one, and from the right tubal torus in one. They were shown as pedicled polyp-like well-circumscribed mass with fat density or signal as well as a stalk on CT or MRI. In the contrast-enhanced scan, the fat components were not enhanced, while the stalk was mildly enhanced.
conclusionHairy polyps had typical radiological features. Hairy polyps should be considered for pedicled polyp-like well-circumscribed mass in the oral-nasopharynx of infants with fat density or signal as well as a stalk.
