Primary Tracheobronchial Low-Grade Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: A Report of a Rare Case.
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
Primary tracheobronchial tumors are rare entities, with low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) representing an uncommon subtype that mimics common airway diseases such as asthma or tuberculosis. Early diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific clinical and radiological features. We report the case of a 19-year-old female with exertional dyspnea, recurrent nocturnal gasping, and chronic cough who was previously misdiagnosed and treated as pulmonary tuberculosis. Radiological and bronchoscopic evaluation revealed a tracheobronchial endoluminal mass, and histopathological examination confirmed low-grade MEC of salivary gland origin. The patient underwent successful endotracheal debulking through rigid bronchoscopy. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for primary airway neoplasms in young patients with chronic or refractory respiratory symptoms.
