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

Plasma cell neoplasms rarely manifest as a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma. Oropharyngeal involvement had been already reported in the literature. The most common malignancy of the oropharynx is squamous cell carcinoma, while soft tissue malignancy is extremely rare. In our present case report, the patient presented with a huge oropharyngeal mass which developed in a short duration. His family's concerns were mostly about his survival and quality of life. After complete checkup, a diagnosis for solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the oropharynx was concluded. The patient received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The mass markedly decreased in size with complete regression as seen both clinically and radiologically. Our main aim for reporting this present case of pathology in oropharyngeal malignant masses is to increase the awareness and draw attention of Otolaryngology, the Head and Neck surgeons.
