Renal Metastases from a Nasal Cavity Mixed Squamous Cell and Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare tumor with a high risk of loco-regional recurrence and potential distant metastases. Until now, only a few cases of renal metastases from ACC have been reported in the literature. CASE REPORT A 64-year-old, Caucasian, non-smoker female, 8 months after being treated by radio-chemotherapy for a squamous cell nasal cavity tumor, presented two renal lesions associated with lung and vertebral metastases. Histology was consisted with a metastasis from an ACC. The histological revision of the primary nasal tumor confirmed a squamous cells carcinoma with an adenoid cystic component that metastasized to the kidney. Renal lesions appeared hypometabolic at the ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) PET scan mimicking a primary renal tumor. The patient underwent a systemic, palliative chemotherapy by a weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel/cetuximab regimen that was well tolerated and allowed a lasting tumor control. CONCLUSIONS The particularity of this case relies on the rarity of renal metastasis from ACC, its difficult diagnosis, and the complexity of its management, as no standard chemotherapy has been validated for metastatic ACC, yet. In our case, a weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel/cetuximab regimen was administered leading to a durable tumor stabilization with an excellent patient's quality of life.
