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

backgroundTo investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, therapeutic methods, and prognosis of secretory carcinoma of salivary gland (SCSG).

methodsThe clinicopathologic data of 13 patients with SCSG admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and a literature review was performed.

resultsA total of eight males and five females aged 22-78 years old were enrolled, and they commonly presented with painless masses in the parotid or submandibular gland. They all underwent surgical treatment, accompanied by typical pathological examinations postoperatively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was conducted in seven cases, the results were all positive, and no gene fusion other than ETV6-NTRK3 was found. Two patients developed local relapse during follow-up, both of which were in the surgical area. By the end of the follow-up, 12 patients survived and one patient died.

conclusionsSCSG is a rare low-grade malignancy with a good prognosis. Pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics are the key to secretory carcinoma (SC) diagnosis, and surgical excision is the major treatment means for SCSG. Whether to perform simultaneous cervical lymph node dissection and other adjuvant therapies should be determined based on the pathological stage and the presence or absence of high-risk factors.
