Epstein‑Barr virus‑associated lymphoepithelial carcinoma arising in the parotid gland: A case report and literature review.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A 60-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of a slow-growing, painless mass in their left parotid gland. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, lobulated, hypoechoic mass measuring 19x12x10 mm in the left parotid gland. Computed tomography revealed a well-circumscribed, solid mass with homogeneous enhancement. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography revealed uptake by the tumor but no uptake in other organs, including the nasopharynx. The patient underwent superficial parotidectomy with adequate safety margins and selective neck dissection followed by radiotherapy. No facial paralysis or recurrence of the tumor had been observed as of 20 months post-operation. Histologically, the tumor was composed of sheets of syncytial cancer cells with prominent nucleoli in a dense lymphoplasmacytic background. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded RNA
