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

Background: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor in salivary glands, so it is of great significance to understand and summarize the disease characteristics and treatment experience. Methods: We reported 3 lymphoepithelial carcinoma cases undergoing surgical treatment and postoperative radiotherapy. Results: All cases were pathologically diagnosed with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland after surgery, among which two had cervical lymph node metastasis. 2 cases have been followed up for 15 months without local recurrence or distant metastasis.1 cases has been followed up for 15 months,hepatic metastasis was diagnosed at the 8th month after postoperative radiotherapy, and received surgery for the liver lesion. Conclusion: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland has complex etiology and still needs a combined treatment based on surgery. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be used as new treatments in the future.
