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

Second branchial cleft cysts are a cystic dilatation of the remnant of the second branchial cleft that account for 95-percent of all branchial cleft malformations, along with second branchial fistulae and sinuses. Among them, the type-IV second branchial cyst is present against the pharyngeal wall in the parapharyngeal space and is rarest of all. Herein we report a rare presentation of type-IV second branchial cyst where MRI played a critical role for accurate preoperative diagnosis. The transcervical approach is a safe and effective technique for proper exposure and hence total surgical excision in such cases.
