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

Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, which is quite rare and has an unclear and much debated etiology. KD is characterized by painless, nodular, subcutaneous swellings along with lymphadenopathy, encountered in the head and neck region more often. It is also known to affect major salivary glands. It is also associated with elevated Immunoglobulins (IgE) and peripheral blood and tissue eosinophilia. Kimura disease generally affects young Asian males. There is considerable difficulty in arriving at clinical diagnosis and often it is frustrating to both patients and the treating physicians because of the difficulty in its management. We are presenting and reporting a case of Kimura disease in a young adult Indian female patient who presented with a swelling in the left parotid region. We have successfully managed this patient medically with a unique combination of drugs, most of which have already been tried and reported in literature by various authors.
