Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the maxillary sinus: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
rationaleMost cases of lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) occur in the nasopharynx, and LEC in the sinonasal tract is extremely rare; thus, the clinical characteristics of sinonasal LEC are not well known. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 63-year-old Japanese man presented with a three-week history of left cheek pain, nasal obstruction and cheek swelling. DIAGNOSES: Enhanced CT and MRI revealed a tumor of the left maxillary sinus that invaded the left orbit and hard palate, with multiple swollen left cervical lymph nodes. Open biopsy was performed, and the specimen was diagnosed as LEC.
interventionsAlternating chemoradiotherapy (ALCRT) followed by salvage surgery was performed. OUTCOMES: Our patient has been disease free for 5 years. LESSONS: A literature review of the epidemiology, etiology, clinical course and management of sinonasal LEC is highlighted. We believe ALCRT followed by salvage surgery to be a highly optimal treatment for sinonasal LEC from the viewpoint of a balance between quality of life and a high curative effect.
