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

introductionCastleman's disease (CD) is a rare and benign disease often identified in the mediastinum with few cases in the head and neck area. Parapharyngeal Castleman's disease was rarely reported in the literature. The aim of our work was to discuss the management of this particular location of CD. It was about a case report that has been reported in line with the SCARE 2020 criteria (Agha et al., 2020 [1]). CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 53-year-old female patient who presented a left parotid tumefaction. Radiological investigations showed a parapharyngeal mass that was surgically removed. Definitive pathologic report concluded to Castleman's disease. She presented, one year later, a retropharyngeal recurrence, which was treated by radiotherapy with good response. CLINICAL DISCUSSION AND

conclusionCastleman's disease located in parapharyngeal spaces is an entity that was rarely reported in the literature. Surgical excision is the golden standard treatment. Radiotherapy is also an effective treatment that can be offered for unresectable cases or recurrences of Castleman's disease.
