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

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare pathology in children, and even less commonly seen in the pediatric trachea. Here we describe an adolescent patient who presented with exercise intolerance following COVID-19 infection and was found to have a near-totally obstructive subglottic mass. This mass was debulked and biopsied, demonstrating MEC. Cricotracheal resection with cervical tracheoplasty was performed. A comprehensive review of the published cases of pediatric tracheal MEC was then conducted. This review of 19 patients comprises the largest collection of pediatric tracheal MEC cases analyzed to date, revealing important collective trends and insights for this rare diagnosis.
