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

Pleomorphic lipoma is an uncommon benign adipocytic tumor that arises from the subcutis. It has no risk of recurrence, metastasis or malignant transformation. The cytological findings of pleomorphic lipoma are often overdiagnosed as suspicious of malignancy owing to the pleomorphic morphology of the floret giant cells. We present a rare case of pleomorphic lipoma of the parotid gland which was misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor on fine needle aspiration cytology. Histopathological examination and positive expression for CD34 helped to arrive at the final diagnosis. Awareness about this rare entity will prevent overdiagnosis as a malignant tumor and unnecessary radical resections for this benign tumor.
