A case report of ectopic salivary gland tissue in the tongue base.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Ectopic salivary gland tissue is the presence of normal salivary gland tissue developing outside of the major and minor salivary glands. We present a rare, incidental case of lingual ectopic salivary gland tissue in a 52-year-old male with known Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, diagnosed on imaging as tongue mass. Excisional biopsy of the left tongue base lesion was performed and histologic examination revealed ectopic salivary gland tissue. We found only a few cases in literature of ectopic salivary gland tissue situated in the tongue. This case illustrates the need to consider ectopic salivary gland tissue as part of the differential diagnoses of a tongue mass.
