Increased incidence of Warthin tumours of the parotid gland: a 42-year evaluation.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 30 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
aimTo evaluate the frequency of Warthin tumours among parotid neoplasms over the past 42 years in a population in rural Germany and to identify potential risk factors.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective case note evaluation from all patients who underwent parotid surgery between 1975 and 2017. The 42-year time period was evenly split into four quartiles.
resultsA Warthin tumour was diagnosed in 265 out of 806 patients (32.9%). The frequency of Warthin tumour increased steadily from 20.6% in the first decade between 1975 and 1986 to 44.9% in the fourth decade between 2008 and 2017. The age of the patients decreased from 68 years in the first to 62 years in the fourth decade. The male-to-female ratio in Warthin tumour was reduced from 1:5.3 in the first to 1:2.1 in the fourth decade.
conclusionA Warthin tumour was the most common histological tumour type in the period from 1997 to 2017. We also found a high incidence of multiple tumours, a growing incidence in women and a decreasing age of patients. We propose a re-evaluation of the existing view of the epidemiology of benign parotid tumours, which proposes that pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign parotid tumour.
