Case report: Suspicious laryngeal mass: a case of laryngeal lymphoma misdiagnosed as chronic inflammation.

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.
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
This case report aims to highlight the importance of considering lymphoma as a potential differential diagnosis in patients presenting with laryngeal mass and associated cervical lymphadenopathy, particularly those with a history of chronic tonsillitis. A case of a 63-year-old male patient who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy for tumor in the left tonsil was presented. Two months after the procedure, he developed throat discomfort, dysphagia, neck swelling, and other symptoms. The patient was initially diagnosed with "tongue base mass" and chronic lymphadenitis. Partial excision of the tongue base mass was performed twice in another hospital, revealing chronic inflammation of the epithelial mucosa. Further evaluations, including electron laryngoscopy and imaging studies, were conducted to investigate the condition. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed irregular soft tissue density in the oropharyngeal region, along with multiple lymph nodes in the neck. Subsequent histopathological examination of the lingual base biopsy revealed peripheral T-cell lymphoma with a follicular T-helper cell phenotype. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed specific markers while ruling out other markers.
