A Retrospective Cohort Study of Major Salivary Gland Tuberculosis: Our 13 Year Experience.

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
The tuberculous infection of major salivary glands is rare because they are relatively resistant to tubercle bacilli. The aim of this study is to present our 13 year experience on major salivary gland tuberculosis. The clinical, histopathological, microbiological and imaging records of 9 cases of major salivary gland tuberculosis were reviewed retrospectively. The cases diagnosed with either microbiological culture and/or polymerase chain reaction assay and/or Histopathological examination were included in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. There were 9 cases with tuberculous involvement of major salivary glands; parotid (n = 5), submandibular (n = 3), sublingual (n = 1). The most common local symptom was painless swelling present in 8 cases and constitutional symptoms were present in all the cases. The previous history of TB was present in 5 out of 9 cases. Surgical intervention was done in 2 cases of parotid TB for diagnostic purpose and therapeutic intervention was required in 1 patient. Patients responded well to medical therapy. Two patients with disseminated disease died. The major salivary gland is rare in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis is difficult and requires high degree of suspicion especially in isolated cases. Medical management yields satisfactory results.
