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

We present two cases of tongue schwannoma in two young males. The unusual, exogenetic clinical manifestation might be a big challenge for most dentists in making a correct diagnosis. The two patients had no special genetic or environmental background. Both patients denied cigarette smoking or alcohol abuse. Physical examination of the cervical lymph nodes yielded negative results. Their astonishing medical histories revealed that both had self-injurious practices using sharp instruments. The diagnosis of tongue schwannoma was confirmed by histopathology, revealing typical Antoni type A and B areas, and reactivity with S-100 by immunohistochemistry. The lesions were excised transorally under local anesthesia with no signs of recurrence for more than two years.
