Tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Primary malignant tumors of the trachea are extremely rare, representing only 0.2% of all respiratory tract tumors. Among them, adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most frequent histological type. Due to its slow growth and misleading symptoms, diagnosis is often delayed. Case: We report the case of a 42-year-old male, chronic smoker, who presented with progressive dyspnea and mild hemoptysis. Chest CT revealed a 32-mm expansive lesion of the cervical trachea causing 80% stenosis. Bronchoscopy confirmed an intratracheal mass, and biopsy established the diagnosis of tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (TACC). Management: The patient underwent crico-tracheal resection with total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection. Histopathology confirmed TACC with perineural and angiolymphatic invasion, as well as thyroid gland infiltration, but clear surgical margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy was delivered using volumetric modulated arc therapy to a total dose of 60 Gy. Outcome: The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient recovered well. At one-year follow-up, both CT and bronchoscopy confirmed an unobstructed trachea with no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusion: TACC is an uncommon and challenging malignancy requiring multidisciplinary management. Radical surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy remains the optimal strategy to achieve local control, particularly in cases with perineural invasion. Early diagnosis and complete resection are key to improving long-term prognosis.
