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

Laryngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (LACC) is a sporadic neoplasm, especially if supraglottic. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the presenting stage of many cancers and impacted their prognosis negatively. Here, a case of a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) with delayed diagnosis and a rapid deterioration with distant metastasis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is illustrated. Next, we present a literature review of this rare glottic ACC. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the stage of presentation of many cancers and adversely affected their prognosis. The present case had a rapidly lethal course, undoubtedly due to the diagnosis delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the prognosis of this rare glottic ACC. Strict follow-up is recommended for any suspicious clinical findings, as an early diagnosis will improve the disease prognosis, and to consider the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on the timing of common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for oncological diseases. In the post-COVID-19 era, it is important to generate new diagnostic scenarios to achieve an increasingly rapid diagnosis of oncological diseases, especially the rare ones, through screening or similar procedures.
