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

introductionApocrine adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare gland cancer that appears in the elderly, especially males. Surgery is considered the first option for the management of this tumor. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two cases of AA that occurred at our Unit of Maxillofacial Surgery. Precisely a case of a woman with AA with a usual presence at the eyelid level and a case of a man with AA with an unusual presence at the neck level. DISCUSSION: This cancer generally arises in some specific areas of the body that present high concentrations of apocrine glands (such as in Case No.2). But it can also occur in less typical areas, such as the neck (such as in Case No.1).

conclusionWe discuss the surgical management of our cases: both based on our experience and literature data, we recommend extensive surgical excision.
