A huge primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung: case report and review of the literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. 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
Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is an uncommon thoracic neoplasm. It is considered a slow-growing tumor with a low-grade malignancy, which can be confusing as to its underlying malignancy, and the main treatment for this tumor is surgery. Presentation of the Case: Here, we report a case of cystic adenoid carcinoma of the lung in a 50-year-old man presenting with an unusual radiological presentation. The tumor was classified as T4N3M1a according to the TNM classification, eighth edition, and the decision was to treat the patient with palliative chemotherapy. The pathologist and surgeons must fully understand the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung to prevent misdiagnosis. Conclusion: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. The diagnosis can be challenging both clinically and histologically. Here, we present a case with an atypical radiological presentation, making the diagnosis even more difficult.
