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

Introduction: Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with distinct histopathological features. Although some non-specific imaging findings may suggest this pathology, the diagnosis remains challenging due to its rarity and often asymptomatic presentation. Report: The case of a patient submitted to surgical resection of an assumed carotid body tumour, but whose histological examination revealed a paraganglioma and presence of Castleman's disease in the cervical lymph nodes is presented. Discussion: The management and treatment options for this disease are reviewed in this report, which aims to raise awareness among surgeons involved in cervical tumour pathology about this rare pathology.
