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

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) is a rare entity of malignancy. It has been associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and in regions where it is endemic, such as Southeast Asia, EBV is typically associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The incidence of such malignancies in the young population is unusual. Here we report a 17-year-old with a 5-year history of a painless right submandibular mass presenting with a sudden increase in size for one month before surgery. Neck examination revealed a firm right submandibular gland measuring five by five cm, with an irregular surface, non-tender with normal overlying skin. We performed a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), and he underwent computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck. He underwent a right submandibulectomy. Lymph nodes from levels I and II were also removed. The final histopathology was reported as LEC. Following this tissue diagnosis, another follow-up surgery, a modified radical neck dissection, was carried out for locoregional clearance. Postoperatively, he completed chemoradiotherapy treatment and is now on regular follow-up.
