Autoamputated pharyngeal hairy polyp presented with aero-digestive obstruction: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A pharyngeal hairy polyp (HP) is a rare benign mass that can be surgical detached with few complications. In this report, we describe a hairy polyp in a 7-day-old neonate presented with intermittent respiratory distress and feeding difficulties since birth. Neck computed tomography was performed, and demonstrated a well-defined pedunculated heterogeneous mass arising from the right lateral wall of the nasopharynx extending downward and nearly completely obstructing of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. The central part of the mass was found relatively dense surrounded by low attenuation fatty components with enhancement of the outer wall of the mass. The provisional diagnosis was pharyngeal HP. After autoamputation at the seventh day old, HP was analyzed via histopathology examination that showed a mixture of various ectodermal and mesodermal tissues including skin, cartilage, adipose and fibrous tissue. The patient fully recovered with no residual clinical features. We report this case to elucidate the possibility of this strange behavior of pharyngeal HP.
