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

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lacrimal gland (LG) is a rare entity. A 47-year-old woman was aware of periorbital swelling for 3 months. At presentation, the patient showed periorbital swelling in the right eye. CT scan showed an isodense mass in the anterior superolateral part of the orbit. MRI delineated the mass as enhancing, extra-conal tumor appearing isointense on T1-weighted sequences, and to be of mixed intensity on T2-weighted sequences. The tumor was totally resected. Microscopically, the tumor tissue was comprised of squamous, epithelioid cells, and cells with plump and clear cytoplasm. Necrosis, neural invasion, or mitotic figures were not observed. Immunohistochemical examination revealed intense staining for cytokeratin 7. A subset of the cells was positively stained with periodic acid-Schiff and mucicarmine stains. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of the
