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

introduction and importanceApocrine Hidrocystoma is a relatively rare benign tumour that begins from the apocrine sweat glands of the head and neck. The Authors present a case series of children with urogenital localization. CASES PRESENTATION: Two boys (15 years and 9 years) presented with a small mass on the glans. Another 15-year-old boy presented with a cystic lesion in the right side of the scrotum where he had a previous surgery. The last case, a 17-year-old boy, presented because of a penile cyst of 8 mm. All four had surgical operations because of aesthetic discomfort or problems during micturition. Histological examination showed a diagnosis of apocrine hidrocystoma in all cases. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This benign tumour rarely affects the urogenital system in children, but when it happens the child can have discomfort and proper treatment is mandatory.

conclusionSurgery is the preferred treatment with a low risk of recurrence.
