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

A dermoid cyst is a benign congenital lesion of ectodermal origin that can arise in any region of the body, though occurrence is rare. A young girl aged 2 years 4 months was referred to our hospital because of a painless mass in the floor of the mouth. Intraoral examination findings revealed a painless movable elastic soft mass on the floor of the mouth measuring approximately 15 mm in diameter. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated a cystic lesion, with low signal intensity shown in T1-weighted and extremely high signal intensity in T2-weighted images. These clinical findings indicated the presence of a dermoid cyst and removal was planned. Under general anesthesia with nasal intubation, surgical removal was performed through an incision on the floor of the mouth. Blunt dissection exposed the integrity of the cyst capsule, which was weakly attached to adjacent tissue. The excised mass was 19 mm × 14 mm × 11 mm in size. Histological examination findings confirmed a diagnosis of dermoid cyst. The operation was successfully completed without any complications and the postoperative course was good. It is important to properly evaluate cysts in children and provide proper treatment with appropriate timing.
