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

An epidermoid cyst is lined with stratified squamous epithelium with a lumen filled with fluid, in most cases. Such cysts can occur anywhere in the body; however, they are rarely found on the epiglottis (0.54%). Herein, we describe to our knowledge, the first cadaveric case of a regular, circular, and soft mass extending out from the tip of the epiglottis with consistent histological characteristics of an epidermoid cyst. Epiglottic cysts are rare and mostly asymptomatic. However, through this case report, we aimed to highlight the clinical-surgical applications presented mainly when they grow large enough, to cause issues with ventilation or obstruct endotracheal tubes, thus interfering with airway management. Additionally, such cysts can affect swallowing or speaking.
