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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to relate all the superficial mucoceles found in a cancer center, described the association with oncological conditions, and discuss its etiology and pathology that we found in the past few years. MATERIAL AND

methodsSixteen cases of superficial mucocele were retrieved from the patients' records of the Stomatology Department of the A. C. Camargo Cancer Center, São Paulo, Brazil, and demographic and clinical data were collected from electronic medical records.

resultsThere were 16 patients, 8 patients were men and 8 women, with ages varying from 26 to 70 years old. Superficial mucoceles were observed in patients submitted to head and neck radiotherapy (n=6), graft versus host disease (n=4), one associated with oral mucositis related to allogenic bone marrow stem cells transplantation (n=1), systemic lupus (n=1), Sjögren's syndrome (n=1), oral lichenoid lesion associated with pembrolizumab (n=1) and no local or systemic inflammatory associated found (n=2).

conclusionsThis study reports a series of superficial mucoceles from a single stomatology unit. Most patients had superficial mucoceles secondary to head and neck radiotherapy and graft versus host diseases. However, two patients (12.5%) had mucoceles related to systemic inflammatory conditions (Sjögren's Syndrome and Systemic Lupus).
