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

Background: Parapharyngeal space masses are rare lesions identified in pediatric patients. The present case describes the clinical history and surgical treatment of a parapharyngeal space in a 32-month-old female. Methods: The electronic medical record was used for this retrospective case report. Results: A 32-month-old female had a nonsignificant clinical presentation and a negative flexible laryngoscopy. Upon imaging, a mass was seen in the left parapharyngeal space. Resection of the mass was conducted. The final pathology confirmed a benign simple cyst. The patient did not have any postoperative complications. Conclusions: This case illustrates that surgical resection can be an adequate treatment method for a parapharyngeal space mass. It also adds to the literature on types of parapharyngeal space masses that may present in pediatric patients.
