Parapharyngeal Space Ganglioneuroma in a Child: A Report of a Rare Case.

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.
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
Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are extremely rare in the pediatric population, accounting for a small fraction of all head and neck neoplasms. The majority of neoplasms in the PPS are benign tumors. We present a case of an eight-year-old male with a large PPS ganglioneuroma, who presented with a neck mass that had been progressing over five years with no symptoms of dysphasia. Diagnostic imaging, including computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging with contrast, revealed a large, heterogeneously enhancing mass, measuring about 4.47 × 6.49 × 2.56 cm in size, in the right poststyloid PPS. The tumor extended closely from the common carotid artery bifurcation to the skull base, without intracranial extension. A transcervical surgical approach enabled complete tumor excision without complications. Postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma, a very rare case in pediatric PPS tumors. No postoperative complications were noted, and follow-up over two years revealed no signs of recurrence.
