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

We report the case of a 68-year-old female patient who was referred to our hospital for a painless, immobile, hard and well-circumscribed nodule of the upper lip that had been present for a decade. Surgical excision under local anaesthesia was the treatment of choice. After histological examination, a diagnosis of a canalicular adenoma, an uncommon benign salivary gland tumour, was made. No late recurrences occurred during a two-year follow-up period. Despite the broad clinical differential diagnosis, this tumour has a characteristic appearance under the microscope. Histological examination is indispensable for diagnosis and for excluding malignancy.
