Role of Sialendoscopy in Non-neoplastic Parotid Diseases: A Prospective Study of 241 Patients in Indian Population.

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
Objectives: To assess the role of sialendoscopy as a diagnostic modality and in managing cases of non-neoplastic parotid gland diseases. Secondly, to provide descriptive analysis of intraoperative findings. Methods: The patients of chronic parotid sialadenitis who presented with complaints of recurrent unilateral or bilateral parotid swelling and pain were included in the study. All patients underwent sialendoscopy, and the findings were noted. Intervention was carried out in the same sitting like dilatation of stenosis, stone removal by basket, combined approach, flushing of mucoid flakes, etc. Failed cases were worked up with radiological investigation and managed accordingly. Results: Two hundred and forty-one cases of parotid sialadenitis who underwent sialendoscopy between 2012 and 2018 were included. Diagnostic sialendoscopy was achieved in 100% cases, while intervention was successful in 96.7% (233/241) cases after the first procedure. On diagnostic sialendoscopy, ductal stenosis was the most common pathology present in 177 (73.4%) patients followed by stones (12%) and debris (11.6%). All cases of stenosis were serially dilated with increasing sizes of sialendoscopes followed by stenting in 75% of the cases. The diagnosis of juvenile recurrent parotitis was confirmed in 17 children (mean age 5.6 years) with consistent clinical history and sialendoscopic findings of stenosis along with pale ductal mucosa. There were 18 cases where ductal perforation was seen. One case showed multiple hyperdense foci in bilateral parotid gland along with multiple strictures that underwent repeat sialendoscopy, but the symptoms did not resolve, and finally the patient underwent bilateral superficial parotidectomy. Conclusion: Sialendoscopy is a safe and highly effective modality in managing non-neoplastic parotid gland disorders with low complication rates and resulted in gland preservation in the vast majority of patients. Therefore, it can be concluded that sialendoscopy is the diagnostic and therapeutic modality of choice for parotid obstructive sialadenitis.
