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

A correlation between inflammation and cancer has been identified in the case of nasal cancer, however a specific connection between nasal inflammation and extramedullary nasal plasmacytoma (ENP), to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been determined. The present case report describes a patient affected by ENP, in who the tumor arose in the same area, from which a nasal polyp was previously surgically removed, five months after the polyp excision. The patient underwent surgical endoscopic tumor asportation without being treated with radio-chemotherapy. ENP was totally removed via surgery and no signs of recurrence were identified by endoscopy or magnetic resonance imaging during the last check-up 1 year after tumor asportation. It was hypothesized that in this elderly patient, who was exposed to viral infections and pollution for several years, ENP may be correlated to the inflammatory process that occurred after surgery, and this likely contributed to a neoplastic mutation in B-cells.
