Two-Scope Technique for Tracheal Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma-A Rare Case Report and Review.

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
Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is an exceptionally uncommon salivary gland type tumour of the lung accounting for only 0.1% to 1% of all primary pulmonary malignancies. We describe a 40-year-old man presenting with hemoptysis, in whom computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed an endoluminal mass in the upper trachea. The initial biopsy suggested adenoid cystic carcinoma. Following complete removal using two-scope flexible bronchoscopic technique combining tumour snaring with cryoprobe-assisted retrieval, the final diagnosis of primary tracheal EMC was confirmed on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This case not only contributes to the limited reports of tracheal EMC but also illustrates that the two-scope method may be a practical alternative to rigid bronchoscopy, especially in resource-limited or complex airway situations.
