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

Introduction: Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is a rare cause of nasal mass in infants and children. It was first described in 1998, and since then, only 63 previous cases have been reported. Case Report: Here, we report a case of a 4-day-old neonate with a right-sided nasal mass presenting with respiratory distress since birth. MRI was suggestive of chondromesenchymal hamartoma, for which endoscopic excision was done with complete removal of the tumor. The patient was diagnosed and successfully managed in our setup. Discussion: NCMH is a rare cause of nasal obstruction in neonates, with a similar clinical presentation to other known nasal masses. Physical examination, imaging, histopathology, and molecular tests are combined to diagnose such cases. The curative management currently recommended is surgery. Conclusion: It is always prudent to consider all possible differentials in neonates presenting with a nasal mass. Our report focuses on the role of proper examination, imaging techniques, and histologic evaluation for proper diagnosis and follow-up in a resource-limited setup.
