Myoepithelial Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2021. 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
Myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is defined as a malignant epithelial neoplasm arising from a primary or recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma. This type of tumor comprises 3.6% of all salivary gland tumors and 12% of malignant ones. Clinically, it most commonly presents as a firm mass in the parotid gland. The development of this neoplasm in the sinonasal and nasopharyngeal regions is extremely rare and only few cases are reported in the literature. The prognosis of myoepithelial carcinoma is variable. Marked cellular pleomorphism, high mitotic rate, and high proliferative activity correspond to a poor prognosis. In this article, the authors report the histopathological features of a clinical case of a 64-years-old patient with a large median maxillary neoplasm diagnosed as myoepithelial carcinoma/ex-pleomorphic adenoma. The tumor was resected and subjected to secondary reconstruction using a revascularized free fibula flap. The myoepithelial derivation of neoplastic cells was demonstrated by immunohistochemical positivity for S-100 protein (strong and diffuse), cytokeratin 14 (strong and diffuse), and GFAP (focal).
