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

Key Clinical Message: Electrical Impedimetric Tumor Detection System is a novel and promising tool for fast intraoperative tumor delineation and accurate safe margin detection in orbital tumors. Abstract: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor of epithelial origin, typically arising from the salivary and lacrimal glands. ACC is notorious for recurrence and a high rate of morbidity and mortality despite therapy. We presented a 48-year-old male patient with lacrimal gland ACC of the right orbit who underwent radical tumor resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. We applied a new diagnostic method, the Electrical Impedimetric Tumor Detection System, during surgery and tested its performance to enhance the precision of tumor resection. Two months after surgery, he underwent external radiation of 58 Gy in 29 fractions. He showed no tumor recurrence or metastasis in the 1-year follow-up visits. ITDS showed a precision of tumor and margin detection consistent with histopathology results. This novel ITDS may be a reliable system for fast intraoperative tumor delineation and accurate, safe margin detection in orbital tumors.
