Malignant Carotid Body Tumor in a Young Female Patient: Case Report with Review of Literature.
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
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare paragangliomas of the head and neck region. They are typically benign and slow-growing but malignant transformation can occur. Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision of the tumors play a vital role in management. We present the case of an 18-year-old female patient from a non-mountainous region, who presented to us with a gradually progressive, painless swelling that had persisted for two-and-a-half years. The swelling was firm, non-tender, pulsatile, and located on the right side in the anterior triangle of neck with a thrill on palpation. Diagnosis was established by imaging and complete surgical excision was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CBT with regional lymph node involvement, establishing the diagnosis of malignancy. The rarity of malignancy and its occurrence in a young female patient make this case noteworthy.
