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

Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) of the parotid is a rare entity with minimal reported incidences in the Asian population. It generally presents as a solid tumor and is considered a diagnostic dilemma due to morphological diversity and variable histological patterns. This article reports a unique fluid-filled PAC of the parotid gland mimicking a cystic lesion in an Indian male, with a review of relevant literature. A 64-year-old male patient presented with a slow-growing swelling of the left parotid region for the last 10 years. The cytology report suggested a cystic swelling. The patient underwent superficial parotidectomy. A detailed histopathological examination confirmed it as a classical variant of PAC. He remains disease-free over 24 months post-surgery follow-up.
