1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a recently described low-grade salivary gland malignancy with histologic, immunohistochemical and molecular similarities to secretory carcinoma of the breast, including a specific t(12;15)(p13;q25) resulting in an ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging frequently document a macrocystic structure. The main differential diagnosis of secretory carcinoma is with low grade acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC). The two can be differentiated with immunohistochemical stains for S100, mammaglobin, carbonic anhydrase VI and DOG-1; the identification of the specific translocation can help to characterize non-typical cases. We report a unique case of synchronous MASC and AciCC presenting in a parotid gland and discuss the implications of the correct identification of the two tumors.
