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

Thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (TL-LGNPPA) is an extremely rare neoplasm of the nasopharynx. Accordingly, its clinical and pathological characteristics are not well-known. We report a case of TL-LGNPPA and review the relevant literature on TL-LGNPPA. A 38-year-old Japanese woman presented with a history of nasal obstruction that had persisted for 1 month after symptoms of a common cold (e.g., low-grade fever, sore throat, and fatigue). A pedunculated tumor of ~20 mm in diameter was found on the posterior edge of the nasal septum. The tumor was endoscopically resected. Based on careful histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations, it was diagnosed as TL-LGNPPA. At 5 years after surgery, the patient remained disease-free. TL-LGNPPA has a very good prognosis, and complete resection with a sufficient safety margin is recommended as the first-line treatment. The morphological characteristics and immunohistochemical findings, especially TTF-1 positivity and thyroglobulin negativity, are important for the diagnosis.
