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

Carney complex (CNC) is a rare, autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome. Although cutaneous myxomas commonly occur in CNC patients, intraoral myxomas are extremely rare. We present a case of a palatal myxoma in a 21-year-old female patient with CNC, along with a review of the pertinent literature. She presented with a sessile nodule on the hard palate that microscopically showed a multilobulated and highly vascularized myxomatous tissue composed of loosely-arranged spindle, polygonal, and stellate cells, suggestive of myxoid neurofibroma. Six years after the oral lesion was removed, she presented with a growth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary adenoma, a cardiac myxoma, two cutaneous myxomas on the lower abdomen area, and one myxoma in the vaginal mucosa. Therefore, the final diagnosis of the palatal lesion was of a soft tissue myxoma related to CNC. The patient remains on close follow-up, with no recurrences of the palatal myxoma after 7 years.
