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

We present a case of a patient visiting the ear, nose and throat department with a parotid gland mass, ptosis and facial numbness. CT imaging confirmed a mass in the parotid gland; however, it also revealed a mass in the left maxillary sinus. MRI, positron emission tomography combined with CT and nasal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma, nasal type. Because this is a rare clinical entity in Western society, patients are typically diagnosed in an advanced stage; symptoms resemble chronic rhinosinusitis and histopathological analysis is challenging. In this atypical case, the patient presented with symptoms of ptosis, parotid gland mass and facial numbness instead of nasal symptoms. In this case, we want to emphasise that diagnosing a sinonasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is often challenging.
