Differences in extension patterns between adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasopharynx and nasopharyngeal carcinoma on MRI.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study aimed to map differences in extension patterns between adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the nasopharynxandnasopharyngeal carcinomaon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and provide more information for treatments.
methodsMRI examinations and clinical records were reviewed in 18 patients with ACC of the nasopharynx and 182 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). All patients had biopsy to confirm diagnosis. Differences between NPC and ACC in terms of extension patterns were identified by the retrospective analysis of images from patients undergoing MRI.
resultsPatients with ACC of the nasopharynx obtained a higher rate of staging T4 (14.3% vs. 38.9%, P = 0.007) and paralyzed cranial nerves (6.0% vs. 38.9%, P < 0.001). Epstein-Barr (EB) virus infection was not correlated with ACC incidence. No significant difference was observed in invasion to skull base between ACC of the nasopharynx and NPC (53.3% vs. 66.7%, P = 0.277). Involvement of cranial nerve canal (32.4% vs. 55.6%, P = 0.049) and cavernous sinus (13.7% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.028) was more frequently detected by MRI on patients with ACC of the nasopharynx. Lymph node metastasis was infrequently diagnosed in patients with ACC of the nasopharynx.
conclusionAs seen on MRI images, ACC of the nasopharynx is characterized by a high incidence of perineural invasion, frequent and aggressive local infiltration, and infrequently, lymph node metastasis.
