Postoperative Acute Submandibular Sialadenitis after Neurosurgery: Two Case Reports and a Review of the Literature.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This article details two case reports and reviews the extant literature concerning acute postoperative submandibular sialadenitis occurring in the side contralateral to the operated site after neurosurgery. Although its precise pathogenesis remains to be elucidated, it is likely related to intraoperative compression of the submandibular gland and surrounding tissues, caused by head positioning and the endotracheal tube. Submandibular swelling rapidly deteriorates after surgery, and emergent airway protection is required in most cases in order to avoid fatal airway obstruction. To avoid serious sequelae, we should be aware of acute submandibular sialadenitis that occurs contralateral to the surgical side, which, although rare, is more probable after posterior fossa surgery. When it occurs, early airway protection is crucial, and the following conservative treatment could provide a good prognosis.
