Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma originating from a minor salivary gland in the nasal septum: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleEpithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare, malignant neoplasm that occurs most frequently in the major salivary glands and accounts for approximately 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Few reports have described the presence of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the sinonasal region; hence, the treatment guideline and prognosis remain unclear. PATIENT CONCERNS: We reported a case of a 75-year-old woman with complaint of nasal obstruction and frequent epistaxis for 3 years. During the nasal endoscopic examination, a mass in the left nasal cavity originating from the left nasal septum that caused bleeding on touch was observed. DIAGNOSES: A diagnosis of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma was made based on the features of histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the surgical specimens. The patient was treated by surgical removal of the septal mass using the endonasal endoscopic approach. OUTCOMES: In the serial follow-up paranasal sinus imaging and endoscopic inspection, evidence of recurrence was absent for 18 months after surgery. LESSONS: This report highlights a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma originating from a minor salivary gland in the nasal septum, one of the most unusual locations. Diagnosis of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma should be made based on the findings of immunohistochemistry of the operative specimen. Clinicians should consider complete surgical resection as the effective treatment of choice.
