Giant Epignathus (Teratoma of Palatine Tonsil): A Case Report.

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
Teratomas are benign tumours containing tissues derived from ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm Epignathus is a rare congenital teratoma and originates from oropharyngeal region. We present a case of giant epignathus arising from tonsillar region in a neonate. A male neonate that was born with a 38-week cesarean section presented with a pedunculated mass from left tonsilla palatina and protruding outside the mouth. The patient did not have any airway problem. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan showed no intracranial extension. The patient was operated on the postpartum 3rd day and the mass was excised successfully. After histopathological examination, mature teratoma was diagnosed. During post-operative 6 months control visit, there was no recurrence. Epignathus is a rare congenital oropharyngeal teratoma, it should be diagnosed in the fetus as early as possible. Teratomas of the tonsilla palatina are extremely rare. In such cases, the mass may cause airway obstruction and feeding difficulties so complete resection is curative in most cases during the early neonatal period.
