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

Myofibroma is a rare benign myofibroblastic tumour of spindle cell differentiation. Most commonly, myofibromas are observed in the context of a myofibromatosis disorder in children. Rarely, myofibroma can present as a solitary lesion in adults. We report a rare case of solitary myofibroma of the nasal vestibule which presented as a nonhealing ulcer on the anterior nasal septum. This is described in the context of a comprehensive literature review. Punch biopsies were obtained which revealed histological appearances in keeping with myofibroma. Following discussion at the regional head and neck and sarcoma multidisciplinary meetings, surgical excision was performed with staged reconstruction. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of myofibroma arising from the anterior nasal septum and columella. This case highlights the importance of considering myofibroma as a differential diagnosis for nonhealing ulceration in this anatomical location.
