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

Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a novel and rare subtype of MEC and is characterized histopathologically by the presence of abundant lymphocytic infiltration and cystic changes. A small number of cytological reports of this MEC variant is currently available. The present study reported on the sixth cytological case of Warthin-like MEC, reviewed the cytological features of the tumour and discussed the cytological differential diagnosis. A 16-year-old Japanese female presented with a painful mass in the left parotid gland. Fine-needle aspiration for cytological examination of the parotid gland tumour was performed, followed by partial parotidectomy. Cytological examination revealed sheet-like and folded epithelial cell clusters in a mucinous background accompanying abundant lymphocytic infiltration. Epithelial clusters comprised round cells with mildly enlarged round to oval nuclei, polygonal cells with relatively rich cytoplasm and slightly enlarged round to oval nuclei. Certain polygonal cells contained intracytoplasmic mucin. Histopathological examination of the resected parotid gland tumour indicated multiple cystic lesions with abundant lymphocytic infiltration accompanying lymphoid follicle formation. The cysts were lined by intermediate cells with occasional mucinous cells. Fluorescence
