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

backgroundAcinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant epithelial neoplasm that commonly occurs in the parotid gland. It is known to have a high recurrence rate and the potential to metastasize to the lung or cervical lymph nodes. However, few cases of ACC with bone metastasis have been reported in the medical literature. CASE SUMMARY: The clinical significance of this case report lies in the unique site of occurrence of the metastasis: To the best of our knowledge, this report is the only literature documenting ACC arising in a shoulder mass.

conclusionUnusual presentations of uncommon malignancies can present diagnostic challenges for both surgeons and histopathologists. It is important to be aware of these rare occurrences in order to provide the best possible treatment for patients.
