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

Canalicular adenoma (CAD) is an uncommon benign tumor of minor salivary glands with predilection for the upper labial mucosa. An 80-year-old female presented with nine submucosal nodules of the upper labial mucosa and bilateral buccal mucosa. Histopathologic examination revealed multifocal circumscribed tumor islands with a tubular growth pattern within a loose hypocellular myxoid background stroma. Interconnecting rows of columnar tumor cells imparted a canalicular morphology. In addition to the characteristic histopathologic findings, a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel supported a final diagnosis of multifocal CAD. Synchronous multifocality in CAD is an infrequent finding and this sine qua non clinicopathologic correlation article exemplifies such a case.
