Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the lung: a case report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundPulmonary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (P-EMC) is a rare subset of salivary gland-type tumors of the lung. Because of its rarity and unproven malignant potential, the optimal therapy for P-EMC has not been defined. Here, we report a typical case of P-EMC and a review of the literature to consider appropriate treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old woman presented with an abnormal lung shadow on a routine chest X-ray. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan verified an 18-mm endobronchial nodule on the middle lobe. We performed a bronchoscopic biopsy, and the patient was diagnosed with P-EMC. After confirming the absence of tumors in the salivary glands, she underwent a right middle lobectomy along with hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissections. Currently, the patient is doing well, without any sign of recurrence 3 years after surgery.
conclusionsAlthough a majority of P-EMC cases, as in our case, behave indolently, several poor progression cases have been reported. For distinguishing the minor malignancy cases from others, histological findings such as myoepithelial anaplasia could be a predictive factor. Complete resection is needed to evaluate the whole tumor, because P-EMCs often show histological heterogeneity. Moreover, incomplete excision may be a poor prognostic factor. Although lobectomies as well as lymph node dissections, sleeve lobectomies, or pneumonectomies are routinely performed for complete resection, further investigation is required to establish the optimal treatment strategy.
