Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma at the Base of the Tongue and Duplicate Breast Cancer Diagnosed During Restaging.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimAdenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a rare malignant tumor that primarily affects the salivary glands but can also occur in other organs. Low incidence and unpredictable clinical behavior make AdCC one of the most difficult head and neck tumors to treat. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 54-year-old woman with AdCC localized at the base of the tongue, following radical surgical and oncological therapy. Due to advances in palliative oncological treatment, there is a more than five-year survival period before the progression of metastatic disease. Considering the rare occurrence of this disease, a literature search was also conducted, and therapy options are discussed. Ensuring a sufficient extent of the surgical procedure is still a challenge, and most specialists agree that subsequent postoperative radiotherapy reduces the risk of local recurrence. The effective dose of radiotherapy to the area of the primary tumor and lymph nodes is not clearly defined.
conclusionThe distinct biological behavior of AdCC results in varying sensitivity to chemotherapy or radiotherapy compared to treatments commonly used for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Treatment recommendations for these rarer tumors are based mainly on case reports and small clinical trials. The acquired therapeutic experience can contribute to prolonging the survival period of patients and improving their prognosis and quality of life.
