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

Thyroglossal duct cysts are congenital neck cysts, formed as a result of the failure of the thyroglossal duct to involute during embryogenesis. We present a case of a 55- year-old male who presented with a history of a large anterior neck mass measuring 11 x 8.5 cm. The mass was long standing and the patient presented to us 30 years after noticing it due to dysphagia and change in voice. A clinical diagnosis of TGDC was made based on clinical history, fine-needle aspiration biopsy and radiographic findings. The patient was treated with Sistrunk's procedure. No recurrence and post-operative morbidity was noted on a 3 year follow-up. Sistrunk's procedure with dissection of the posterior hyoid space is the standard of care with time-tested outcomes.
