A Rare Case of Parotid Nodular Fasciitis in a Six-Month-Old Female.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a rare benign self-limiting lesion that is often mistaken for malignancy due to its progressive nature. Reported cases of nodular fasciitis in the parotid gland are uncommon, and its incidence is variable among different age groups. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies are helpful in distinguishing these kinds of lesions. We report a case of a six-month-old baby with a two-month history of progressive rapid-growing mass in the left parotid region. Clinical examination showed some mild facial nerve weakness with no other significant findings locally or systemically. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was inconclusive, and surgical excision was the choice of treatment. On histological examination, the mass was confirmed to be nodular fasciitis, and on follow-up, the patient had no signs of recurrence. Nodular fasciitis can appear in young infants and, if confirmed histopathologically and immunohistochemically, should be treated conservatively.
