Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with osseous metastases in an 8-year-old girl: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Introduction and importance: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is exceptionally rare in young children, particularly those under 10 years of age. Presentation with widespread osseous metastases at diagnosis is even more uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Case presentation: An 8-year-old girl presented with an 8-month history of a gradually enlarging right cervical mass associated with fever, weight loss, night sweats, generalized bone pain, and fatigue. Examination revealed a firm, nontender neck mass of size 10 × 8 cm with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Laboratory findings showed elevated inflammatory markers and LDH. Imaging demonstrated a primary nasopharyngeal tumor with extensive nodal involvement and osseous metastases confirmed by bone scan. Biopsy revealed metastatic nonkeratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Clinical discussion: The patient received three cycles of cisplatin/5-FU induction chemotherapy, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cisplatin 30 mg/m Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children with cervical lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms. Multicenter studies are needed to establish standardized pediatric protocols and to investigate molecular biomarkers.
