Massive Recurrent Parotid Carcinoma in a 90-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report and Review of Management Strategies.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare malignant salivary gland tumor arising from the malignant transformation of a pre-existing pleomorphic adenoma and is associated with significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 90-year-old male with a long-standing history of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland, who presented with a rapidly enlarging parotid mass associated with facial nerve involvement and parapharyngeal extension. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. This case highlights the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and histopathological features of this uncommon malignancy and adds to the existing literature by emphasizing the diagnostic complexity and management considerations of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in elderly patients.
