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

Background: Granular cell tumor (GCT) or Abrikossoff's tumor is an uncommon neuro-derived tumor in which Schwann cells are found and express S-100 protein. Often, it is a benign lesion. Histopathologically, there are granular cell infiltrations through the entire dermis without necrosis which are periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stain positive and reactive with S-100. The aim of this study is the clinicopathological evaluation of GCT. Material and Methods: In this paper, we described the experience of 6 patients with a GCT in different locations (4 cases in the skin and 2 cases in the mucosa), for example, a case with a tumor in the abdomen and a keloidal-like presentation with a highly sclerotic pattern (an uncommon pathological feature). Another case developed a lesion secondary to physical trauma. Result: In one case, the presence of a lesion in the lower lip associated with actinic damage secondary to chronic sun exposure resulted in misdiagnosis with actinic cheilitis and squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Histopathologically, there were granular cell infiltrations through the entire dermis without necrosis which are PAS-positive and reactive with S-100.
