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

introduction and importanceSeromucinous hamartoma is a rare benign glandular proliferation arising from the respiratory epithelium, which was originally described by Baillie and Batsakis in 1974. Since this time, case reports started to be published on SH, as a middle aged and elderly disease, here we report a case of a pediatric patient who found to have SH. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: 2-year-old girl, brought by her parent with a complain of a mass at the right medial canthal area for one year. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: As this pediatric patient presented with long standing history of right medial canthal area, we made out differential diagnosis list, with keeping congenital midline nasal masses such as nasal glioma, dermoid, and encephalocele at the top of our differentials, followed by inflammatory disease and lacreimal system disease. After bedside clinical assessment and imaging, patient underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for surgical excision, histopathology analysis came as Seromucinous hamartoma. Postoperative course was unremarkable, patient is disease- free for 18 months, till her most recent follow up. With no additional treatment or recurrence.

conclusionThis case report indicates that seromucinous hamartoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric sinonasal disease. According to the literature review we did; this is the first case reported in such an age group.
