Liver metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submandibular gland: a case report.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAdenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of epithelial origin. It involves a variety of histologic types and often has distant metastasis. ACC metastasis to the liver is rare and usually involves spread to other organs. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of liver metastasis from a submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma 11 years after resection of tumor. The patient was admitted to our hospital due to a liver-occupying lesion found by abdominal B-ultrasound, CT and MRI. A metastasis was found only in the liver, and after discussion the patient was treated with surgery. This tumor was histologically consistent with the diagnostic criteria of ACC. The patient was followed up 24 months after surgery, and showed no recurrence in the liver parenchyma at the site of operation or other organs.
conclusionsACC is a very rare tumor and its pathogenesis is not completely clear. There are few articles about the imaging findings of ACC in the liver, and so it was difficult for us to make a correct diagnosis in clinical practice. The diagnosis of ACC mainly relies on pathologic examination, so we summarize the correlation between imaging and pathology.
