Large Left Shamblin Type III Carotid Body Tumor With Tracheopharyngeal Deviation and Midline Shift: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 46-year-old female was referred for treatment of a large left parapharyngeal mass, incidentally discovered and later confirmed as a Shamblin type III carotid body tumor (CBT). There was no family history of CBTs. The patient exhibited no clinical signs of catecholamine excess, and both serum and urine catecholamine levels were normal. CT and CT angiography revealed a 4.2 cm mass arising from the carotid bifurcation, causing significant medial deviation of the trachea and pharynx. Ultrasound imaging showed complete encasement of the carotid artery and bulb by the tumor. Surgical resection was successfully performed via a longitudinal left neck incision, without the need for preoperative embolization, mandibular dislocation, or complex vascular reconstruction of the carotid bifurcation. This case underscores the importance of early detection and timely intervention by an experienced vascular surgical team to manage these complex tumors before they cause significant compression of neck structures, necessitating a more challenging procedure.
