Tracheal myoepithelioma resected by using flexible video bronchoscope: a case report and review of the literature.
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: Tracheal myoepithelioma is a rare, low-grade malignant tumor originating from salivary gland tissue. This article presents a case of tracheal myoepithelioma without clinical symptoms, diagnosed and treated using flexible video bronchoscopy. Case Report: A 44-year-old male patient, asymptomatic for respiratory issues, was found to have a tracheal mass during a routine chest CT scan. The mass showed no significant changes over the course of one year. Upon admission, flexible video bronchoscopy revealed a coral-like neoplasm. The tumor was resected using a high-frequency electrocautery loop, followed by cryotherapy to remove residual tissue. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of myoepithelioma. Three months later, follow-up flexible video bronchoscopy demonstrated good mucosal healing at the original tumor site, and chest CT showed no evidence of infiltration. The patient reported no discomfort during this period. Conclusion: Although tracheal myoepitheliomas are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tracheal masses. Minimally invasive interventional therapy via flexible video bronchoscopy may serve as a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
