Myoepithelial Carcinoma Mimicking Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
We present the case of an 81-year-old male with a two-month history of a rapidly growing red nodule measuring 6 mm x 10 mm on his left malar cheek. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of myoepithelial carcinoma. The nodule was fully excised with a 3.8 mm radial margin and a close deep margin of 0.95 mm. This was followed by a wide local excision with a 5 mm margin, including subcutaneous fat up to the muscles of facial expression, and closed with a lateral cheek advancement flap per the specialist skin multidisciplinary team (SSMDT) recommendation. Postoperatively, the patient has been followed up as per the high-risk squamous cell carcinoma protocol, including four-monthly clinic reviews in the first year and six-monthly reviews in the second year. This case highlights the importance of raising awareness around cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma's rare presentation and diagnostic challenges, and the importance of multidisciplinary management with long-term follow-up.
