Carotid Body Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
Carotid body tumors or carotid body paragangliomas, are rare, highly vascular neuroendocrine neoplasms originating from the paraganglionic cells of the carotid body situated near the adventitial layer of the carotid bifurcation. Although they typically exhibit slow growth and benign behavior, their close proximity to the neurovascular structures of the neck poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Timely recognition through clinical examination and imaging studies is crucial for establishing the diagnosis and improving the prognosis. We present the case of an 84-year-old male with a progressively enlarging mass in the right parotid region, present for one month, without associated neurological symptoms. Carotid body tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses. Correlating clinical findings with imaging studies enables a timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning, thereby fostering a favorable clinical outcome.
