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

Patients may present in the emergency setting for a variety of head and neck complaints such as fever, trouble swallowing, or a newly palpable mass. When reviewing radiologic head and neck exams for etiology of complaints, it is important to be familiar with the multiple pseudolesions that may mimic pathology. These may be normal variant anatomy, normal anatomy located in an atypical location, as well as iatrogenic or self-introduced foreign bodies. This review article discusses ten common pseudolesions encountered in the head and neck and their typical imaging appearance so that one does not mistake them for ominous pathology, thus preventing unnecessary follow-up, biopsy, or continued concern for the patient.
