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

purposeRespiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is an infrequently encountered noncancerous growth. Hamartomas are characterized by excessive pseudoglandular proliferation of the ciliated respiratory epithelium originating from the surface of the respiratory epithelium.

methodsIn this retrospective series, we present three cases of Saudi patients diagnosed with REAH between 2015 and 2023. We summarize patient demographics, clinical presentation, radiological features, histopathological characteristics, treatment modalities, and outcomes to enhance the understanding of REAH, inform clinical management strategies, and provide an updated literature review.

resultsOur patient population (male, 2; female, 1) had a mean age of 44 years and exhibited REAH at various locations in the nasal cavity. All three patients were treated surgically, without recurrence during the follow-up period.

conclusionThis series contributes to the growing body of evidence that, although rare, REAH may be more common than previously thought, necessitating awareness among clinicians for better patient outcomes.
