Partial Parotidectomy under Local Anaesthesia without Regional Block Assisted by Electromyographic Facial Nerve Monitoring - 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
The Rationale: This study describes a partial parotidectomy (PP) under local anaesthesia (LA) without regional block (LAwRB) assisted by electromyographic monitoring of the facial nerve, to consolidate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of these procedures without general anaesthesia (GA). Patient Concerns: An 82-year-old with a lump in the left parotid gland suspected for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) needed a histological examination to start chemotherapy. Diagnosis and Treatments: Because of multiple comorbidities, the authors performed a PP under LAwRB electromyographically guided by the NIM Vital (Medtronic)™. Outcomes: The procedure was quick and did not require conversion to GA. The histopathological examination confirmed the NHL. No haematoma, sialocoele, earlobe numbness and transient or permanent facial palsy were observed. Take-Away Lessons: The electrophysiologic monitoring of the facial nerve improves the efficacy, safety and feasibility of parotid surgery under LA, avoiding adverse effects of GA, need of regional block and reducing hospital stay.
