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: Sinonasal lymphoepithelial carcinoma (SNLEC) is a rare neoplasm, representing less than 1% of all types of carcinomas and approximately 3% of head and neck tumors. It can affect the nasopharynx due to the rich lymphoid tissue present in this region. Clinical SNLEC presentation varies, ranging from asymptomatic to nonspecific sinonasal symptoms. We report a case of SNLEC and review the literature for SNLEC presentation, diagnosis, management options, and outcomes. Conclusion: SNLEC is rare, with limited reported cases from around the world. It is mostly seen in adults between their fifth and seventh decades with male predominance. SNLEC is diagnosed using imaging, immunohistochemistry, and EBV testing given its strong association with EBV. Owing to the limited cases, there is no standard approach to treating SNLEC. However, most cases managed with radiation and with and without other modalities showed an excellent response in terms of tumor nonrecurrence.
