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

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm arising in minor salivary glands. We present a rare case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma in the base of the tongue. We report a case of a 38-year-old female presented with a progressive history of hemoptysis and dysphagia over the course of 4 years. Examination revealed a mass originating from the base of the tongue with a biopsy confirmed as hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma . An Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed literature review was conducted due to the rarity of this type of tumor. The patient underwent surgical excision with immediate reconstruction with radial forearm free flap followed with adjuvant radiotherapy and was disease free at her most recent follow-up (12 months). Our review included a total of 13 new cases, including our case. The majority of the cases presented with dysphagia. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment, and overall these patients have a good prognosis. Our case highlights a rare presentation of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue, successfully treated with surgical excision, free tissue reconstruction and adjuvant radiotherapy.
