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

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary gland tumor characterized by an indolent yet aggressive course, facilitated by perineural invasion, a propensity for delayed distant metastases, and recurrence after resection. A 61-year-old female presented with a three-month history of intermittent hoarseness and resting dysphagia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a subglottic mass with proximal tracheal invasion, and ultrasound-guided neck fine-needle aspiration cytology was consistent with ACC. Surgical management included total laryngectomy with proximal tracheal and left thyroid lobe resection, followed by immediate tracheostomy. ACC was confirmed on histopathology with negative margins, and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) was initiated to reduce locoregional recurrence risk. At one-year follow-up, the patient remains in remission with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Early symptom recognition and surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy remain central to local disease control, and long-term surveillance is essential given the potential for late recurrence.
