Stereotactic radiosurgery for skull base adenoid cystic carcinoma: A report of two cases.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon salivary gland tumor with a relatively favorable prognosis. However, treating ACC is potentially challenging because radical resection is usually difficult once the skull base is involved due to the adjacent critical structures. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a less invasive alternative for surgically recalcitrant lesions. Case Description: We report two patients with three metastatic skull base ACCs who underwent SRS using the Gamma Knife with a marginal dose of 20 Gy to a 50% isodose line. All tumors were effectively controlled without any adverse events. Conclusion: This case report and our review of the literature suggest that SRS can be considered for local control of ACC invading the skull base when surgical resection is unsuitable or a postoperative residual lesion is suspected. Further, investigations on the accumulated subjects are warranted to confirm the role of SRS for the treatment of ACCs.
