Warthin's tumour seems to be the most common benign neoplasm of the parotid gland in Germany.
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, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeRecent reports indicate an increase in the prevalence of Warthin's tumours (adenolymphoma) with percentages which exceed that of pleomorphic adenomas (PA) in the same registries. The purpose of this study is to analyse a large cohort of benign parotid tumours in relation to various demographic and other patients' characteristics that might affect their incidence.
methodsA retrospective review of prospective collected data was performed on all patients who have been operated for a parotid mass in the last 5 years. A total of 474 patients with benign lesion were included in the study. Age, gender, smoking status, histological diagnosis, site of lesion, and size of tumour were recorded.
resultsWarthin's tumours were the most common benign lesions, found in 201 (42.4%) parotic glands followed by pleomorphic adenomas found in 138 (29.1%) of these surgical cases. Patients with WT had a mean age of 61.6 years instead of 52 years for PA patients (t = 6.589, p < 0.001). The vast majority (93%) of patients with WT had a current or previous history of smoking compared with 47% of PA patients (p = 0.001). There was a male predominance regarding WT with a male:female (M:F) ratio of 2.3:1, whereas the corresponding ratio of PA was 1:1.4.
conclusionsThis study confirms the increased regional prevalence of WT reported in studies mainly carried out in central Europe. This could affect future management of WT, which remains largely controversial due to the extremely low malignant potential reported, concurrently with its higher rates of multiplicity and recurrence, as well as the moderately accurate results of FNA biopsies.
