Unveiling Myoepithelioma: A Case Report and Literature Review of an Uncommon Soft Tissue Tumor.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Myoepitheliomas are rare salivary gland tumors, comprising only 1%-1.5% of all cases. We report a unique case of a 69-year-old woman with a painless, slowly enlarging right parotid mass. CT imaging showed an ill-defined, irregular, multilobulated heterogeneous lesion compressing the deep parotid lobe. Fine-needle aspiration cytology suggested a benign spindle cell tumor. The patient underwent superficial parotidectomy, and histopathology confirmed a benign myoepithelioma with spindle and epithelioid cells, along with distinctive fibro-myxoid changes. Immunohistochemistry was positive for p63 and S-100. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and no recurrence was noted at two-year follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering myoepithelioma in elderly patients and demonstrates distinct radiological and histological features aiding diagnosis.
