Branchial Cleft Cyst Associated with Xanthogranulomatous Inflammation - An Unusual Case.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Rationale: Branchial cleft cysts are benign lesions that result from developmental defects arising from primitive branchial arches, cleft, and pouches. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a mass forming lesion and its association with branchial cleft cyst is rare. Patient Concerns: A 23-year-old male presented with a soft, partially mobile, nontender swelling on the left side of submandibular area. His main concern was removal of pathology. Diagnosis: Computed tomography scan showed a well-circumscribed rounded cystic lesion suggestive of 2 Treatment: Complete surgical excision was done under general anaesthesia and the lesion was removed in toto. Outcomes: Patient's postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged from the hospital on the 4 Take-away Lessons: Diagnosis of branchial anomalies should always be considered while dealing with lateral neck swellings and XGI associated with branchial cleft cyst should be carefully investigated and treated.
