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

Spindle cell neoplasms arising in the head and neck may be challenging to recognize due to their relative rarity. While underlying molecular alterations are increasingly elucidated, testing for these features may not be readily available. In most cases, combinations of key morphologic features and diagnostic immunohistochemical markers can be used to replace molecular diagnostics. Conversely, some molecular alterations and expression of their surrogate biomarkers are not specific for any one entity, and it is important to recognize these to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. In this review, we discuss both old and new spindle cell tumors of the sinonasal tract, with an emphasis on histologic features and clinically relevant immunohistochemical markers serving as surrogate markers for underlying genomic alterations.
