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

BackgroundCarotid body tumors (CBTs) are neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the carotid body. The malignant cases can present with a multitude of complications. Thus, surgical resection is the preferred treatment of choice. However, preoperative embolization is an established adjuvant treatment, especially with larger and symptomatic tumors. Current devascularization practice includes numerous techniques and materials, such as using liquid or embolic materials to embolize feeding vessels, coil embolization, direct tumor puncture, and covered stent placement. In this case series, we present our initial experience in pre-treatment of CBTs using a combined approach of established embolization techniques and balloon occlusion of the external carotid artery (ECA) via the EMBOGUARD
