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

Fetal lingual tumors are very rare, and their early prenatal diagnosis is important for defining the subsequent therapeutic strategy. In this study, we aimed to describe a case of a congenital septate lingual cyst and perform an extensive literature review on two main databases (PubMed, Web of Science), analyzing the clinical manifestations, the imaging appearance, the differential diagnosis, and particularities regarding the treatment of these tumors. The electronic search revealed 17 articles with 18 cases of mixed heterotopic gastrointestinal/respiratory oral epithelial cysts that met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. The clinical case was diagnosed prenatally during second-trimester screening. On the eighth day of life, the fetus underwent an MRI of the head, which revealed an expansive cystic process on the ventral side of the tongue with the greatest diameter of 21.7 mm, containing a septum of 1 mm inside. On the 13th day of life, surgery was performed under general anesthesia, and the lingual cystic formation was completely excised. The postoperative evolution was favorable. The histopathological examination revealed a heterotopic gastric/respiratory-mixed epithelial cyst with non-keratinized respiratory, gastric squamous, and foveolar epithelium. The lingual cyst diagnosed prenatally is an accidental discovery, the differential diagnosis of which can include several pathologies with different degrees of severity but with a generally good prognosis.
