Uncommon Presentations of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a rare form of squamous cell carcinoma originating from the nasopharynx epithelium, exhibits a higher prevalence in southern China, Southeast Asia, the Arctic, North Africa, and the Middle East, with significant incidence in northeastern India, particularly Nagaland. Commonly presenting with nasal and otological symptoms, NPC diagnosis is challenging due to its diverse clinical manifestations. This case report highlights two atypical NPC cases: a 32-year-old female presenting with chronic headache and giddiness and a 22-year-old male with severe right-sided facial pain and trismus. Both cases underwent extensive diagnostic procedures, including imaging and biopsies, ultimately confirming NPC. Treatment involved radiotherapy and chemotherapy, resulting in significant symptom improvement. These cases underscore the importance of recognizing unusual NPC presentations to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes.
