Surgical outcomes of Adenoid cystic carcinoma treated with Mohs Micrographic Surgery and excision: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Archives of dermatological research, 2025. 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
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer that most commonly occurs in the salivary glands, making up approximately 2-4% of all head and neck malignancies. Treatment for ACC varies, with combinations of surgical excision, adjuvant radiotherapy, and chemotherapy reported in the literature. In this study, we aim to assess ACC recurrence rates with Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) treatment compared to traditional wide local excision (WLE). In June of 2024, a comprehensive review of the literature was performed using the following keywords: "Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma" and/or "Mohs Micrographic Surgery" and/or "MMS" and/or "excision." Between the two databases, 25 articles were identified which included a total of 30 patients. Among all the articles, 30 procedures were documented - 8 MMS and 22 WLE. Patients with ACC treated with WLE had a higher rate of recurrence (40.9%) compared to those treated with MMS (12.5%). Limitations include a small number of tumors treated and reporting bias. MMS for the treatment of ACC demonstrated a decreased recurrence rate compared to WLE. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the benefit of MMS over WLE.
