Long-Term Surgical Outcomes of Carotid Body Tumors With Pathological Fibrosis: A Cohort Study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo compare the surgical outcomes of carotid body tumor (CBT) with or without pathological fibrosis, and evaluate the associated factors of fibrous CBT (FCBT). MATERIALS AND
methodsParaffin-embedded tissues of 236 patients with unilateral CBTs at our center were retrospectively reviewed from January 2008 to May 2020. Based on the pathologic features, CBTs were divided into FCBT and conventional CBT (CCBT) groups. The clinical data and surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared.
resultsOf 236 patients, 53 had FCBT and 183 had CCBT. FCBTs showed higher vascular invasion (24.53%), marked pleomorphism (22.64%), internal carotid artery reconstruction (37.74%), estimated blood loss (559.62 cm
conclusionCompared with CCBT, FCBT is prone to increased recurrence, metastasis, major adverse events, and nerve injury risk. Early surgical resection, routine excision of surrounding abnormal lymph nodes, and closer clinical surveillance in FCBT patients are recommended.
