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

Pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) are benign mixed tumors of the salivary glands that usually present with morphological characteristics consisting of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and a chondromyxoid stromal component. Atypical cells; squamous, osseous, lipomatous, endocrine-like or apocrine metaplasia; aspects of invasion (vascular, perineural, in adjacent tissues or the capsule); necrosis; and unusual dimensions were reported as uncommon aspects that can be encountered in PAs. This study consisted of a retrospective analysis of the morphological characteristics of PAs, aiming to identify their unusual features and prevent misdiagnosis. We discuss the diverse morphological aspects of PAs, with particular emphasis on the challenges associated with their diagnosis.
