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

purposeThis study aimed to determine the MRI features of sporadic/simple lymphoepithelial cyst (SLEC) of the parotid gland.

methodsTen patients (seven men, three women; mean age, 60 years; age range, 38-77 years) with histopathologically and clinically proven SLEC of the parotid gland who underwent MRI before surgical resection were enrolled in this study. No enrolled patient had HIV infection or Sjögren syndrome. MRI findings of SLEC were retrospectively assessed.

resultsWe confirmed 10 SLECs larger than 10 mm with a mean maximum diameter of 26.6 mm (range, 12-42 mm). Nine patients (90%) had a single cyst, and one (10%) had a large cyst accompanied by small cysts (<10 mm) within the ipsilateral parotid gland. Eight SLECs (80%) were unilocular, and two (20%) were bilocular, with complete septa. Among seven SLECs (70%) with internal septa, five unilocular SLECs (50%) had incomplete septa. Six SLECs (60%) had eccentric cyst wall thickening, and five (50%) were surrounded by small solid nodules that were isointense relative to lymph node. On T1-weighted images, all cyst contents were homogeneously hyperintense relative to cerebrospinal fluid.

conclusionSLECs of the parotid gland are usually single unilocular lesions. Internal septa, eccentric cyst wall thickening, and small solid nodules surrounding the lesion were often observed. Cyst contents are always homogeneously hyperintense on T1-weighted images.
