Primary Intraosseous Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Mandible: A Report of a Rare Case.
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
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) is the most common primary salivary gland neoplasm. The exact origin of intraosseous MEC remains uncertain and debated. Although rare, intraosseous MEC is the most common and well-recognized intraosseous salivary gland neoplasm. Histopathological examination revealed cystic and solid epithelial components comprising mucous, epidermoid, and intermediate cells, with strong intracytoplasmic mucicarmine positivity, supporting a diagnosis of low-grade primary intraosseous MEC. The patient subsequently underwent hemimandibulectomy at a higher oncology center and remained disease-free during the available follow-up period. The diagnosis of intraosseous MEC presents a diagnostic challenge due to its clinical and radiological resemblance to various benign odontogenic cysts and tumors. We present an interesting case of intraosseous MEC in a 23-year-old female patient.
