1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The common cause of parotid fistula is parotid gland surgery and is frequently due to injury to the gland rather than to the duct. The frequency of postparotidectomy fistula is 14%. Other causes include facial trauma, congenital anomalies of the parotid gland, malignancies originating from the parotid gland and infections. Although there are several options for the treatment of parotid fistula and Frey's syndrome, very few treatment options are deemed optimal. The use of Botulinum A neurotoxin as a conservative method of treatment for parotid fistula and Frey's syndrome is a recent and evolving concept.
