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

Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving subcutaneous tissue and locoregional lymph nodes of head and neck region, characterised by angiolymphoid proliferation. It is typically associated with peripheral eosinophilia, increased serum IgE and lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis is usually based on histopathological examination. Though various treatment modalities have been put forward, surgical management remains the first line of treatment, followed by systemic steroids application. This case report discusses the diagnostic dilemma and therapeutic management of a rare clinical presentation and management of oropharyngeal Kimura's disease in a young immunocompetent woman.
