Mucinous adenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands: a high-grade malignancy prone to lymph node metastasis.
Article in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Salivary gland mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a rarely encountered and poorly understood tumor. We describe two additional cases presenting as a lip lesion of older women. The prognosis was dismal with one death and one patient with recurrent/metastatic disease. Combining these with 19 cases in the literature unveiled that intraoral MAC occurred primarily in the palate (43%) of elderly individuals (average 65 years) with slight male preponderance (59%). Tumor evolved slowly (>2 years) and most (60%) were diagnosed at an advanced stage. Local recurrences were common (33%) and cervical lymph node and distant metastases were frequent (63% and 29%, respectively). About half the patients (47%) died of tumor within 6 years. Both histologically and immunohistochemically, MAC lacked acinar, myoepithelial, and neuroendocrine phenotypes. Cytokeratins 7 and 20 and estrogen and progesterone receptors, in some combination, may assist to distinguish primary versus metastatic mucinous carcinoma. Minor salivary gland MAC belongs to a high-grade category with a significant risk of local recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and fatal outcome.
