Hydatid cyst in the parotid gland, a rare localization of the disease: A case report.

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
introduction and importanceHydatid cysts are often found in the liver or lungs. As for the parotid localization, it remains exceptional even in endemic areas and presents as a tumor of the parotid thus representing a challenge to the practitioner. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old male farmer presented with a swelling in the left parotid gland region evolving over the past 2 years. Physical examination revealed a non-tender and mobile swelling in the left parotid region, the overlying skin was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion of the left parotid gland. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) yielded a clear fluid with a few benign epithelial cell. A superficial parotidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a hydatid cyst in the parotid gland. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Parotid hydatid cyst is exceptional. However, it can be suspected in the context of an isolated parotid cystic mass in an endemic area, even in the absence of any other associated location.
conclusionHydatid cysts of the parotid gland have a polymorphic and a specific symptomatology and require surgical removal.
