Comparison of Color Doppler Ultrasound Characteristics between Parotid Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma and Basal Cell Adenoma.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. 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
Knowledge of the color Doppler ultrasound (US) characteristics of parotid malignant mucoepidermoid carcinoma and benign basal cell adenoma remains limited. To enhance understanding of these two diseases, we retrospectively analyzed 9 cases of surgically and histopathologically confirmed mucoepidermoid carcinomas and 18 cases of basal cell adenomas. The results revealed that mucoepidermoid carcinomas exhibited irregular and deeply lobulated shapes in 55.5% of cases, ambiguous margins in 88.8%, and punctuate calcifications in 66.7%. In contrast, basal cell adenomas demonstrated regular and shallowly lobulated shapes in 72.2% of cases, clear margins in 100%, and calcifications in only 5.6%. Significant differences were observed in these characteristics between the two tumor types. Therefore, we conclude that the color Doppler US features closely associated with mucoepidermoid carcinoma include deeply lobulated or irregular shapes, ambiguous margins, and punctate calcifications. Recognizing these characteristics can facilitate the differential diagnosis of the two kinds of tumors.
