Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with high-grade transformation of parotid gland: A case report and literature review.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleEpithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is regarded as a rare low-grade malignant tumor of the salivary gland, accounting for 0.4% to 1% of all salivary gland tumors. However, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with high-grade transformation (EMC with HGT) is extremely rare, therefore it is easily to be inappropriately diagnosed and treated. Herein, we report an unusual case of EMC with HGT involving the parotid gland and discuss the clinical features and histological characteristic of EMC with HGT, in order to remind the doctors to take appropriate diagnosis and treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 77-year-old female sought for treatment in our hospital due to pain mass in the left parotid gland for 6 months with rapid growth recently. DIAGNOSES: EMC with HGT was confirmed by final pathology, and then the result showed there were 2 distinctly different areas in the tumor, including the typical EMC component and intensive spindle cells component.
interventionsThe extensive resection surgery was performed. OUTCOMES: The patient was uneventful after surgery and no recurrence or metastasis has been observed after follow-up of 4 years. LESSONS: A review of literature suggested that EMC with HGT patients trend to be more aged, more aggressive and poorer prognosis than typical EMC patients. In order to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, it is necessary to accurately recognize the differences between the EMC with HGT and typical EMC.
