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

The fifth (5th) edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumors introduces a new chapter dedicated to soft tissue neoplasms commonly affecting the head and neck. While the diversity, rarity, and wide anatomic range of soft tissue tumors precludes a discussion of all entities that may be found in the head and neck, the addition of this new chapter to the head and neck "blue book" aims to provide a more comprehensive and uniform reference text, including updated diagnostic criteria, of mesenchymal tumor types frequently (or exclusively) arising at head and neck sites. Since publication of the previous edition in 2017, there have been numerous advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of many soft tissue tumors which have facilitated refinements in tumor classification, identification of novel entities, development of diagnostic markers, and improved prognostication. This review will provide a focused discussion of the soft tissue tumors included in the 5th edition WHO Head and Neck classification, with an emphasis on updates.
