Ectopic ACTH Secretion Secondary to Metastatic Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland: A Case Report and Review of Current Evidence for Systemic Therapy.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare, typically indolent, neoplasm that arises in the salivary glands. Metastatic disease is uncommon, occurring in around 10% of cases. We report the case of a 46-year-old male in whom the first sign of disseminated disease was increased skin pigmentation due to paraneoplastic Cushing's syndrome. He underwent 3 cycles of chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel with no symptomatic improvement and a mixed response on imaging. There is no evidence that systemic therapy prolongs survival in metastatic acinic cell carcinoma, and we lack a consensus as to which treatment options are most beneficial. A summary of published evidence regarding choice of palliative chemotherapy regimens and response is discussed in relation to the case.
