Mucoepidermoid lung carcinoma in a pediatric patient confused with pneumonia.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a common type of salivary gland malignancy; however, rarely, MEC can arise from the lung. This disease has a non-specific presentation and is often overlooked. Histologically, MEC can be classified into low-grade and high-grade forms. Surgical resection is the optimal treatment for low-grade tumors. In this article, we report a case of MEC in a 5-year-old girl who was initially misdiagnosed with pneumonia. The histological results revealed MEC. Thus, clinicians and radiologists should consider the possibility of this rare entity in patients who fail to respond to antibiotic treatments, even among the pediatric population.
