Ultrasound-guided sialo-irrigation for the treatment of chronic sialodochitis with sialolithiasis.

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
Sialolithiasis is one of the most common causes of salivary duct obstruction. In the last 20 years, minimally invasive procedures like sialendoscopy, extracorporeal lithotripsy, and basket snaring are increasingly being used for the treatment of salivary gland duct stones. Sialo-irrigation of the salivary gland is an effective procedure for treating inflammation and providing symptomatic relief. This procedure can be employed for the treatment of sialolithiasis using the back pressure of instilled saline. Sialo-irrigation under ultrasound (US) guidance allows for dynamic studies showing real-time images during diagnostic or surgical procedure and can be used for the removal of sialoliths. In addition, it can also be used to remove primitive sialoliths and microliths by washing out the ductal system, which prevents the recurrence of sialoliths. The aim of this study was to propose a minimally invasive technique for sialolithiasis using US-guided sialo-irrigation.
