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

Cystic lesions in the preauricular may have various histological origins, ranging from the skin to the acinar and non-acinar lesions from the parotid. Though advanced radiological investigations provide a good insight into the diagnosis of these lesions, diagnostic dilemmas may still prevail and warrant good clinical and surgical acumen to provide optimal treatment. The aim of the current report is to describe a case of an epidermoid cyst that mimicked a parotid cyst and discuss in detail the probable differential diagnosis and their management strategies.
