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

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) most commonly affects the major salivary glands but can also involve the minor salivary glands, particularly those of the hard and soft palate. However, the current study aims to present a case of upper lip PA. A 29-year-old male presented with a painless, firm, slow-growing swelling (1.5 × 1.5 cm) on the left upper lip. Ultrasonography showed a solid, hypoechoic nodule with irregular margins and mild peripheral vascularity. The encapsulated tumor was excised, and histopathology confirmed PA. At the 7-month follow-up, no evidence of recurrence was observed. Though typically seen in adults aged 40-70, PA can affect younger patients. Complete excision with clear margins is essential due to the risk of recurrence or malignant transformation. PA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of upper lip swellings.
