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

Chondrosarcoma of the head and neck region is a rare disease, representing approximately 0.1% of all head and neck neoplasms. Parapharyngeal location is extremely rare and low-grade ones are even rarer. Surgery alone or followed by adjuvant radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. In this article, we report a case of a 67-year-old male with low-grade parapharyngeal chondrosarcoma who presented with a 3-month history of dysphagia. A cervical magnetic resonance imaging was performed that shows a well-defined mass located at the right parapharyngeal space, causing medial deviation of the mucosal space. Surgical resection of the tumor without neck dissection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy was undertaken with a favorable response. The purpose of this article is to add our case to the limited literature for good management of parapharyngeal chondrosarcomas.
