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

Background: Recurrence in pleomorphic adenoma (PA) has been debated as a risk factor for malignant transformation (MT). In this study, we investigated whether recurrence is a risk factor for MT, by longitudinally analyzing cases with recurrent PA (RPA), and carcinomas from PA (CXPA) or RPA (CXRPA). Methods: The study population included 24 CXPA, 24 RPA, 6 CXRPA, and 386 PA cases (study period 2010−2018). Time and event data were collected from the medical documents to identify the time−event sequences. Results: The time interval to MT in CXRPA was significant longer than that of benign recurrence (median 342.0 vs. 109.5 months). In CXRPA, the recurrence intervals were not shorter than those in RPA according to recurrence frequency. Crudely, the MT rate was 5.9% among primary cases and 20.0% among recurrent cases. However, the time-adjusted MT rates increased up to 11.4% (incubation time > 60 months) and 20.0% (>120 months) in primary cases, which were not different from recurrent cases. Conclusion: In these longitudinal analyses, we did not find any clinical evidence that recurrence facilitates MT in the background of PA. Instead, a long incubation time seems to be a key factor for MT of underlying RPA.
