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

backgroundChoroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are rare, usually benign, neoplasms originating in the central nervous system. In this study, we present the first case of a giant airway-obstructing CPP in the pharynx of a newborn. CASE PRESENTATION: A cystic mass located in the pharynx was noted in a fetus at the 29th week of gestation. Elective cesarean section was performed at the 38th week of gestation with successful intubation and ex utero intrapartum treatment. On computed tomography, there was a huge airway-obstructing cystic mass in the choana and pharynx. Elective surgery with total excision was performed, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CPP.

conclusionWe report the first case of an extracerebral airway-obstructing CPP in the pharynx of a newborn. Radiologic examinations are not enough for the diagnosis of CPPs, and complete excision of the tumor with histological confirmation is indispensable for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
