Warthin-like Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma in an Elderly Male Patient: A Case Report.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimMucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common salivary gland malignancy, yet its "Warthin-like" variant (WL-MEC) remains an exceptionally rare entity with approximately 80 cases reported since its formal naming in 2015. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 71-year-old male with a 2'2 cm painless right parotid mass. Histological evaluation of the resected cystic tumor revealed a complex architecture of mucinous, intermediate, and atypical epidermoid cells interspersed with regions of bilayered oncocytic epithelium and dense lymphoid stroma with germinal centers. While the focal presence of organized bilayered epithelium posed a diagnostic challenge by mimicking a WT, immunohistochemistry demonstrated p40 and p63 positivity throughout the squamoid and intermediate cell populations. Definitive diagnosis of WL-MEC was established
conclusionUltimately, the diagnosis of WL-MEC requires high clinical suspicion and the integration of molecular testing to differentiate it from metaplastic Warthin tumors, ensuring appropriate diagnosis and management for this generally indolent but morphologically deceptive neoplasm.
