Bilateral Symptomatic Cystic Lesions of the Palatine Tonsils Successfully Treated by Endoscopic Excision: A Rare Case Report.

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.
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
Cystic lesions of the palatine tonsils may occasionally be encountered in clinical practice, whereas bilateral involvement is exceptionally uncommon. We report the case of a 74-year-old man who presented with pharyngeal discomfort and bilateral cystic lesions in the inferior poles of the palatine tonsils. Endoscopic examination and radiological imaging revealed well-circumscribed cystic lesions without diffusion restriction. The lesions were excised endoscopically under general anesthesia, and histopathological examination revealed cyst walls lined by stratified squamous epithelium with underlying lymphoid tissue. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed during the 1-year follow-up period.
