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

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a high-grade carcinoma with poor prognosis, especially among various salivary carcinomas. In this study, we report a rare case of SDC of the parotid gland originating from an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC). A 71-year-old Japanese man presented with swelling of the right parotid region and a right facial nerve paralysis for 10 months. He underwent extended total parotidectomy and chemoradiotherapy after the surgery. Histologically, a major part of the tumor was an androgen receptor (AR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15)-positive SDC, with a focus of a typical EMC component at the periphery of the lesion. In the transitional area of the two components, inner ductal cells of double-layered ducts showed similar morphology and immunophenotype to SDC. These findings suggest that SDC originated from the inner ductal cells of EMC. Because the tumor included an EMC as a low-grade carcinoma and an SDC as a high-grade carcinoma, we can consider our case as a dedifferentiated carcinoma as well as a hybrid tumor.
