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

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a malignant tumor of the salivary gland that arises from pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare in the salivary glands. We report two cases of acantholytic SCC (ASCC) ex PA. Case 1 involved a 72-year-old female, and case 2 involved a 67-year-old male. Histologically, both cases involved PA, and salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) components, which were positive for androgen receptor (AR) and gross cystic disease fluid protein (GCDFP)-15 but negative for HER2, were seen in the intracapsular regions. The invasive components consisted of ASCC, which were positive for cytokeratin 5/6 and p63 but negative for AR and GCDFP-15. The SDC and ASCC components were positive for the epidermal growth factor receptor. In both cases, the cytoplasmic localization or decreased expression of E-cadherin was observed in the ASCC. In the early phase, CXPA might emerge as SDC, and it might change into SCC as it invades beyond the capsule due to changes in microenvironment. Also, the aberrant expression of E-cadherin is related to acantholysis in SCC.
