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

We present the case of a newborn who presented in respiratory distress with a hairy polyp that was larger than 3 cm arising from the oropharynx. Whilst performing emergency intubation, an oropharyngeal mass was detected causing airway obstruction in association with a cleft palate. The characteristics and extent of the lesion were confirmed through imaging. Surgical removal was undertaken using coblation. Histology confirmed a 34 x 22 x 16 mm lesion consisting of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium with pilosebaceous units and a well-formed tooth bell seen within the specimen. The child made an uneventful recovery and has had complete resolution of symptoms.
