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

Giant carotid body tumors, defined as those >8 cm in size, are extremely rare. Definitive surgical management is a complex undertaking because these large tumors tend to have grown to envelop cranial nerves and the carotid artery, and few data exist regarding the long-term outcomes for these patients. We present the case of a patient with bilateral giant carotid body tumors who underwent staged embolization and excision of a >10-cm carotid body tumor. After 5 years of follow-up, we demonstrated that elective open repair can provide long-term symptomatic relief. We describe and illustrate the crucial steps and considerations regarding the excision of complex Shamblin type III carotid body tumors.
