Top Ten Differentials to Mull Over for Head and Neck Myoepithelial Neoplasms.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 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
backgroundMyoepithelial neoplasms of the salivary gland are benign or malignant neoplasms composed exclusively of neoplastic myoepithelial cells. These tumors, including the benign myoepithelioma and the malignant counterpart myoepithelial carcinoma, exhibit a wide range of cytomorphologic features and architectural patterns.
methodsReview.
resultsMyoepithelial cells can be epithelial, plasmacytoid, clear cell, spindle cell, and/or oncocytic cell, arranging as trabeculae, solid sheets, nests, cords, and/or single cells. A stromal component is commonly but not universally present, Therefore, their differential diagnoses are quite broad, including salivary gland neoplasms especially those with a myoepithelial component, plasmacytoma, melanoma, and various mesenchymal tumors.
conclusionIn this review, we summarize the characteristic histologic features, useful immunohistochemical panel, and common molecular alterations of myoepithelial tumors and their top differential diagnoses. A logical stepwise algorithmic approach and an immunohistochemical panel to include multiple myoepithelial markers are essential to establish the correct diagnosis.
