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

objectivesWe aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, survival rate, and potential prognostic markers of the jaws' primary intraosseous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PIACC). MATERIALS AND

methodsMEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Embase searches were performed with the keywords "adenoid cystic carcinoma," and "jaw," or "maxilla," or "mandible." We included articles that evaluated cases diagnosed as PIACC in jaws. Studies with insufficient demographic data, inconclusive histopathologic diagnosis, and appropriate follow-up were excluded. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool was used to assess the risk of bias.

resultsFifty-five PIACC comprising 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of the patients was 56.4 ± 19.6 years with no sex predilection. PIACC showed a strong predilection for the mandible (69.1%), mainly in the posterior segment (40%). The patients presented symptoms in 87.3% of cases. Radiographically, PIACC presented as an ill-defined radiolucent lesion (40%). Most cases showed a cribriform pattern (32.7%). PIACC with a solid growth pattern presented a lower disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.040). The 2- and 5-year overall survival rates were 57.9% and 53.8%, respectively. Distant metastases were seen in 3.6% of the patients and were related to a lower DFS (p = 0.043).

conclusionPIACC is a rare neoplasm of the jaws with an incidence in the fifth and sixth decades of life and no sex predilection. The posterior mandible was affected in most cases. Solid growth patterns and distant metastases are prognostic factors for a lower DFS.
