Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the middle ear: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the middle ear is a rare malignancy. We report a case of 58-year-old woman who presented with purulent discharge from the left ear for seven months, followed by bloody otorrhea for one month. She was diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the middle ear after mastoidectomy. Then, she received x-ray radiation therapy (total dose: 3,000 cGy). However, nine months later, she underwent a comprehensive surgical intervention, including subtotal temporal bone resection, partial parotidectomy, and neck dissection, due to local tumor recurrence. The patient succumbed to tumor recurrence two years after the second surgery.
