Sclerosing Variant of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma - A Case Report on the Role of Sclerosis in the Prognostic Outcome.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rationale: Sclerosing variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) is a rare variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) with only two cases in the literature. In this article, we report two cases of SACCs and attempt to explain the reason for sclerosis and its association with the disease outcome. Patient Concerns: The first patient is a 43-year-old Dravidian Indian female with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the right posterior cheek region of four months' duration. The second patient is an 8-year-old boy with a well-defined swelling in the left cheek region. Diagnosis: Both these cases were diagnosed as sclerosing variants of ACC. Treatment: The tumour was surgically excised for both patients. Outcomes: Both the patients had no signs of residual disease/recurrence. Take-away Lessons: We opine that the dense sclerotic stroma may have a preventing role in tumour cell growth and progression.
