Case Report: Pediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma masquerading as benign lymphadenopathy: diagnostic pitfalls in two cases.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Background: Diagnosis of pediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is frequently delayed due to its rarity and histologic mimicry of benign lymphoproliferative disorders. Case presentation: We report two pediatric cases of NPC presenting with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy, initially misdiagnosed as Kimura disease and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. Both patients were treated with multimodal chemoradiotherapy and remain under follow-up. Conclusions: These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges of pediatric NPC, particularly its mimicry of reactive or inflammatory conditions. Persistent cervical lymphadenopathy in children warrants early core or excisional biopsy, routine cytokeratin staining, and EBER
