Case report of a rare postoperative cervical lymph node metastasis of palate mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, imaging features, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of a patient admitted to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at College of Stomatology, GuangXi Medical University in 2025. Surgery was performed for inpatient treatment, during which the right cervical tumor was completely removed and cervical lymph node dissection was completed, and a 11-month postoperative follow-up. Results: This case describes a 47-year-old Asian female patient who developed tumor metastasis to the right cervical region 11 years after undergoing resection of a well-differentiated MEC in the right palate. Physical examination revealed multiple nodular and mass-like lymph nodes in the right neck. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MEC. Conclusion: This study focused on describing the clinical characteristics of a case with MEC, highlighting that although the initial treatment was effective, the risk of neck metastasis persists. The unique insights gained from this case help us better understand the long-term development pattern of MEC, emphasize the importance of long-term close follow-up, and highlight postoperative radiotherapy.
