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

Bilateral chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are rare congenital anomalies arising from the branchial apparatus. Given that they may be associated with other congenital anomalies, thorough physical examination and targeted investigations are recommended. Although typically asymptomatic, early intervention is favored for optimal cosmetic results and psychosocial well-being. Definitive management involves complete excision of both the cutaneous lesion and its underlying cartilaginous component. We present the case of a 10-year-old with bilateral neck masses, one of which appeared as a pedunculated skin tag, subsequently diagnosed as bilateral CCBRs. Following laboratory and imaging evaluation that revealed no associated anomalies, the patient underwent successful bilateral simple excision. This case highlights the importance of careful preoperative assessment to rule out potential systemic comorbidities, despite the straightforward nature of surgical treatment.
