Single-surgeon parotidectomy outcomes in an academic center experience during a 15-year period.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveAs large single-surgeon series in the literature are lacking, we sought to review a single-surgeon's experience with parotidectomy in an academic center, with a focused analysis of pathology, technique, and facial nerve (FN) weakness. Benchmark values for complications and operative times with routine trainee involvement and without continuous FN monitoring are offered. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll patients who underwent parotidectomy, performed by D. G. D., for benign and malignant disease between January 2004 and December 2018 at an academic center were reviewed.
resultsA total of 924 parotidectomies, with adequate evaluatable data were identified. The majority of patients had benign tumors (70.9%). Partial/superficial parotidectomy was the most common approach (65.7%). Selective FN branch sacrifice was rare (12.3%), but significantly more common among patients with malignant pathology (33.8% vs 3.5% for benign,
conclusionThis is the largest single-surgeon series on parotidectomy, spanning 15 years. We demonstrate excellent long- and short-term FN paresis rates with acceptable operative times without regular use of continuous FN monitoring and with routine trainee involvement. These findings may provide valuable insight into parotid tumor pathology, FN outcomes, and feasibility and expectations of performing parotidectomy in an academic setting. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
