Maxillofacial Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Cervical Metastasis and Tuberculous Lymphadenitis: Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Insights.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2026. 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
backgroundMaxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) typically metastasizes to lymph nodes, yet coexisting tuberculous lymphadenitis is extraordinarily rare, posing diagnostic challenges. CASE: A 68-year-old female with right maxillofacial SCC and ipsilateral lymphadenopathy underwent radical resection and selective neck dissection after computed tomography had shown nodes with central necrosis and rim enhancement-features indeterminate for metastasis versus infection. Histopathological examination of the dissected lymph nodes revealed concurrent metastatic SCC foci and tuberculous granulomas. Further tuberculosis-specific tests returned positive results, confirming the final diagnosis of metastatic maxillofacial SCC with coexisting tuberculous lymphadenitis. Notably, the patient had no tuberculosis-related symptoms, with tuberculous lymphadenitis unsuspected preoperatively, underscoring the diagnostic challenge of such coexisting conditions.
conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of considering infectious comorbidities, particularly in cases with atypical imaging or clinical manifestations, when evaluating lymph node lesions in cancer patients to avoid misdiagnosis and optimize therapeutic strategies.
