Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma with Transformation to High Grade Carcinomatous and Sarcomatoid Components: A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) comprises of less than 1% of all head and neck cancers and less than 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Dedifferentiation/high-grade transformation (HGT) in AdCC is a rare but well known phenomenon which is associated with aggressive clinical behaviour and poor prognosis. We herein report the clinical, cytologic, histologic and immunohistochemical findings of a left submandibular gland AdCC with transformation to high grade carcinomatous and probable dedifferentiation to sarcomatoid component, occurring in a 64 year old male patient. To the author's best knowledge, this is the first case report of such dual transformation occurring in adenoid cystic carcinoma.
