Primary Pulmonary Endobronchial Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma Treated With Sleeve Resection in a 23-Year-Old Woman: Case Report.

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
Pulmonary Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (PMEC) is a rare, slow-growing, low-grade primary intrathoracic cancer of the tracheobronchial tree that manifests as an exophytic endobronchial tumour with luminal obstruction. Radical surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for low-grade PMEC. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with intermittent haemoptysis. On imaging, an endoluminal mass was seen in the bronchus intermedius, also visualised on bronchoscopy, although biopsies were inconclusive. Final histology after surgical resection revealed a low-grade PMEC with tumour-free margins. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, and no recurrence was evident after 6 months. Lung-preserving sleeve resection for low-grade PMECs with clear margins is a safe and feasible surgery, offering favourable short-term outcomes. Ongoing surveillance will be necessary for longer-term results.
