Nasopharyngeal masses in adults-A retrospective analysis of 255 patients to evaluate symptoms, clinical findings, and histological results.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Nasopharyngeal tissue hyperplasia is generally associated with adenoids in childhood. In adults, nasopharyngeal masses are occasionally found, but data on symptoms, clinical findings, and histologic results are limited. Material and Methods: A 10-year retrospective study was conducted, analyzing data from adult patients who underwent nasopharyngeal biopsies. The study included information on case history, preoperative suspected diagnosis, and histology type. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: Two hundred and fifty-five patients were included, most of them complaining of nasal obstruction, ear pressure, and hearing loss. Biopsy revealed adenoid tissue (64.7%), solid malignancies (15.7%; dominant undifferentiated carcinoma), lymphomas (9.0%), cysts (7.8%), and other benign tumors (2.7%). Malignant neoplasms were predominantly found in male and in elderly patients ( Conclusions: Persistent nasopharyngeal masses in adults-particularly in elderly men, smokers and those with simultaneous unilateral seromucous tympanum-should undergo a histological examination.
