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

Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is a rare inflammatory condition of the upper aerodigestive tract with a heterogeneous clinical course. Predominately seen in the oral cavity, laryngeal involvement and the requirement for tracheostomy have been rarely described. We describe the case of a man diagnosed with airway-threatening PCM isolated to the larynx requiring a tracheostomy. He responded to oral glucocorticoids and was decannulated only to present 3 years later with severe laryngeal stenosis requiring repeat tracheostomy insertion. Medical management in the form of immunosuppression is the mainstay of treatment for plasma cell mucositis. Surgical management is necessary in a significant proportion of cases with laryngeal involvement.
