You cannot miss it: Pancreatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma: A case report and literature review.
Article in Medicine, 2018. 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
rationalePancreatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare disease with no more than 10 cases reported in literature. The prognosis is poor and few patients can survival more than 1 year. PATIENT CONCERNS: We presented a case of patient manifested as left upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography demonstrated a low-density shadow measuring 2.1 × 2.4 cm situated at the transition area of neck and body of the pancreas with obscure boundary and irregular enhancement. The preoperative symptoms and imaging features were unspecific. DIAGNOSES: Pancreatic MEC.
interventionsCurative surgery of distal pancreatectomy was conducted. Postoperatively, the patient subsequently underwent 8 cycles of chemotherapy using cisplatin (25 mg/m) on day 1 to day 3; and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m) on day 1 and day 8, repeated every 21 days. OUTCOMES: The patient was monitored on a regular basis at our outpatient department and survived 23 months after surgery. LESSONS: Preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic MEC is difficult. Patients with pancreatic MEC may have a survival benefit from the multimodal treatment of curative surgery combined with chemotherapy.
