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

A 52-year-old female patient complaining of progressive nasal obstruction six months ago, nasopharyngoscopy revealed a nasopharyngeal large fleshy non-pulsatile mass, ear examination and tympanometry revealed left middle ear effusion without any abnormalities in mouth or oropharynx. There was no enlarged cervical lymphadenopathy in contrast to most RDD cases. Given clinical examination and radiological findings, an excisional biopsy was done under general anaesthesia with left ear ventilation T-tube insertion. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen reveals a unique histopathological feature, "emperipolesis", and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman Disease.
