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

Tracheo-bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma (TBACC) is a rare disease. Its treatment is mainly surgical. We herein describe the clinical and para-clinical varieties of TBACC as well as their surgical treatment and prognosis. We conducted a retrospective study of eight patients operated on between 1994 and 2022 and whose definitive pathological examination concluded with primary TBACC. There were three men and five women with an average age of 44 years. The bronchoscopy found a budding formation reducing the tracheal lumen at the cervical (two cases), middle (two case) and distal trachea and carina (four cases). Bronchial anastomosis resection and sleeve pneumonectomy were the most common procedures. Surgical resections R0 were achieved in five patients. Surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy was performed in two patients with incomplete surgical resection R1. The overall survival for all patients with primary ACC was 72% at 5 years. TBACC is a rare and low-to-moderate grade malignant tumour. The choice of the surgical procedure and the appropriate approach is challenging to obtain a promising prognosis.
