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

introductionAdenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy that most commonly occurs in the major salivary and lacrimal glands. Although distant metastases frequently occur in the lungs, bones, and brain, liver metastases are uncommon, and the optimal management of metastatic lesions remains unclear. Here, we report a case of liver metastasis from a lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC) treated with surgical resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old man underwent tumor resection for LGACC 6 years previously. Bilateral pulmonary metastases were detected 2 years after the primary surgery and treated with partial lung resection. Two liver metastases were identified during follow-up imaging. Because curative resection was considered feasible, the patient underwent laparoscopic right anterior sectionectomy of the liver. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained recurrence-free for 11 months after hepatectomy.

conclusionsSurgical resection may be a potential treatment option for selected patients with liver metastases from ACCs.
