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

Branchial cleft carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor originating from the epithelium of branchial cleft cysts, which are highly susceptible to misdiagnosis. There is a lack of systematic consensus on its lymph node metastasis pattern and standardized treatment protocol. We report a case of branchial cleft carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis and discuss its diagnostic criteria, clinicopathological features, lymph node metastatic characteristics, and treatment strategies. This case report supports the notion that branchial cleft carcinoma should be diagnosed according to Khafif's criteria, and long-term follow-up is necessary to reduce the misdiagnosis rate. And treatment should be based on radical tumor resection combined with ipsilateral cervical lymph node dissection, and adjuvant radiotherapy is recommended for the presence of lymph node metastasis or locally invasive growth.
