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
objectiveIn this article on adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland, we intend to summarize the causes of misdiagnosis and oversight of ACC hoping to improve cytological diagnostic accuracy, clinical management and patient treatment.
methodsThe study retrospectively reviewed 32 patients with ACC of salivary gland, registered at the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from July 2014 to June 2021. These cases were diagnosed by FNA and surgical excision biopsy. All cytopathological results were retrospectively categorized according to Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology (MSRSGC). The accuracy of FNA was verified by surgical excision biopsy.
resultsOf these 32 patients, 16 (50.0%) cases were male, and 16 (50.0%) were female. Their age ranged from 21 to 79 years, with an average age of 50.32 years. The highest incidence (15/32, 46.9%) of ACC was observed in patients between 41 and 50 years of age. 10 cases (31.3%) occurred in the parotid gland, 9 cases (28.1%) in the submandibular gland, 9 cases (28.1%) in the sublingual gland, 3 cases (9.4%) in the palate, and 1 case (3.1%) in the lip. Among the 32 cases of ACC, 23 cases (71.9%) were classified to VI, 4 cases (12.5%) to IVa, and 5 cases (15.6%) to II by MSRSGC. A comparison of the FNA results with biopsy showed that the accuracy of FNA in ACC of salivary gland is 71.9%. Being able to identify the cytomorphological features is the key factor for accurate diagnosis of ACC of the salivary gland.
conclusionOur results confirm that FNA is an important initial screening in the diagnosis of ACC of salivary gland. Increased study of the cytomorphology of ACC is beneficial for more accurate diagnosis of ACC, to reduce misdiagnosis and oversight.
