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

Statement of the Problem: Salivary gland tumors represent about 3% of the head and neck tumors. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate and describe some clinical and histopathological aspects of salivary pleomorphic adenomas with special reference to the epithelial and mesenchymal components. Materials and Method: In this retrospective study, one hundred tissue samples diagnosed as PA were sourced from archival tissue blocks between 2009 and 2019 in this retrospective study. Some clinical and demographic features, including age, sex, tumor size, and tumor location were recorded. This study included only samples taken by excisional biopsy. Then, the samples were histologically classified into three subtypes according to the proportion of epithelial and stromal components. The demographic and clinicopathological variables were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, considering a significance level of 5% ( Results: In the present study, most cases (61%) were found in females, representing a female-male ratio of 1.6:1. The peak incidence was seen in the 4th and 5th decades of life. In 87% of cases, PA occurred in major salivary glands. There was a significant difference between the age of the patient and squamous metaplasia ( Conclusion: In this study, there was a significant correlation between the gland type and capsular features and between the size of tumor and rate of squamous metaplasia. A detailed clinical and histopathological analysis of PAs may provide a better insight to the pathophysiology of the lesion, tumor cell differentiation, and prognostic factors.
