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

introductionThyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (TL-LGNPPA) is a rare neoplasm characterized by morphological analogy to papillary thyroid carcinoma and the abnormal expression of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1). We herein report a rare case of TL-LGNPPA with a review of its clinical and morphological characteristics and the treatment provided. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS: The patient was a 50-year-old Chinese woman with the complaint of a three-year history of phlegm with blood with pharyngeal discomfort. There were no remarkable physical findings, and the laboratory tests were normal. Laryngoscopy and nasal computed tomography identified a mass at the posterior end of the nasal septum. Histologically, the tumor exhibited an oval papillary growth. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for TTF-1, vimentin, cytokeratin 7, and cytokeratin 19. Pathological examination indicated a thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma.

interventionThe neoplasm was completely resected without any complication. OUTCOMES: The patient had neither local recurrence nor distant metastasis 1 year after the removal of the tumor.

conclusionAlthough TL-LGNPPA is a malignant tumor, complete surgical resection is an effective treatment.
