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

Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare soft tissue tumors that involve the head and neck in 50% of patients. Two distinct variants of GCT, one benign (bGCT) and the other malignant (mGCT), involving the hypopharynx, a subsite of the larynx, are presented here. The clinical presentations, radiographic features, pathologic diagnosis in these two variants of GCT are discussed. The mGCT was diagnosed only after complete tumor excision. This report highlights the importance of complete excision of the tumor mass, as diagnosis of mGCT can be exceedingly difficult to make on a small biopsy specimen. Therefore, complete excision is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment of GCTs.
