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

Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively rare salivary gland tumour of the jawbone. Glandular odontogenic cyst is another unique odontogenic developmental cyst characterised by glandular differentiation. Both entities share several histological characteristics, and a pre-existing Glandular odontogenic cyst can evolve into Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Case 1: A 56-year-old male presented with chief complaint of swelling in lower left facial region since 1 year. Histopathology revealed multicystic compartments resembling mucoepidermoid carcinoma, but strong positive expression of Cytokeratin 13 upon immunohistochemistry helped us in rendering the final diagnosis as Glandular odontogenic cyst Case 2: A 34-year-old female presented with a lesion on right side of face. Histologically, the biopsy specimen revealed both typical findings of a Glandular odontogenic cyst component and a recognizable component of Mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The results from cytokeratin profiling demonstrated that, while both Mucoepidermoid carcinoma and Glandular odontogenic cyst expressed Cyokeratins 7, 18, and 19. Cytokeratin 13 was interestingly exclusively expressed in Glandular odontogenic cyst. Present case findings showed that central mucoepidermoid carcinoma and Glandular odontogenic cyst may be part of the same disease spectrum. However, because the expression profile of Cytokeratin13 in mucoepidermoid carcinoma and Glandular odontogenic cyst was so diverse, it can be used to differentiate both.
