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

purposeBecause of their relative rarity, bone and soft tissue lesions of the head and neck region can present a diagnostic challenge to anatomic pathologists who practice in a general surgical pathology model-while novel lesions may be unfamiliar to subspecialty head and neck pathologists.

methodsThis review focuses on a diagnostically confounding neoplasm that arises in the bone (primary intraosseous rhabdomyosarcoma / FUS::TFCP2-rearranged spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma) and soft tissue (trans-/de-/undifferentiated melanoma) of the head and neck region-each of which can easily be mistaken for more common entities.

resultsThe clinical, radiological, and histopathologic findings (including the molecular pathogenesis) of each neoplasm is discussed-along with selected differential diagnoses.

conclusionThe accurate recognition of these neoplasms ensures that patients are reviewed, treated, and followed at the appropriate multidisciplinary meeting.
