A case of infarcted Warthin tumor misdiagnosed as Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma: diagnosis confirmed by
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
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignant neoplasm of the parotid gland. A rare pathological subtype, Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma, closely resembles infarcted Warthin tumor in clinical presentation and histopathological features, and contributes to a high-risk of misdiagnosis. Therefore, extensive experience in morphological diagnosis by pathologists and molecular testing results are crucial for accurate diagnosis. We report a case of infarcted Warthin tumor initially misdiagnosed as Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The diagnosis was subsequently corrected based on molecular testing results, in conjunction with clinical features and multi-institutional pathological consultation. We report this case to raise awareness of this rare entity and to avoid inappropriate clinical management.
