Myoepithelial Carcinoma of the Nasopharynx: Report of a Rare Case and a Review of the Literature.
Article in Head and neck pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 carcinomas are very rare in the nasopharynx, with the most frequent histologic types being adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified. Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a rare tumor of the salivary glands, and there are only three previously reported cases of nasopharyngeal MECA. The case presented is the fourth reported case of MECA in the nasopharynx. Due to the morphologic heterogeneity of MECA, immunohistochemistry is indispensable in ascertaining the diagnosis. MECA is a locally aggressive tumor, but the long-term prognosis of this tumor in the nasopharynx remains uncertain. In our case the tumor was unresectable and the patient was given chemo-radiotherapy. Despite this, residual tumor was seen on nasoscopy 5 months after initial diagnosis and was documented on a re-biopsy which displayed the same histomorphologic features as the original tumor.
