1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe indications for and approaches to extracapsular dissection for parotid gland benign tumours are debated in the literature. This study retrospectively evaluates a single site's short- and long-term results with a standardised extracapsular dissection approach to benign parotid tumours.

methodsA retrospective review of a single institution's records identified cases with extracapsular dissection as the primary surgery for non-recurrent benign parotid tumours. A total of 194 eligible patients were identified (124 women and 70 men, age 47.75 ± 15.62 years). Pre-, intra- and post-surgical data were reviewed for complications and recurrences.

resultsHistology reported pleomorphic adenoma in 165 patients, Warthin's tumour in 28 patients and both in one patient. Mean follow up was 36 ± 16 months (range, 12-84 months). The incidences of complications following extracapsular dissection were temporary (

conclusionThis case series shows how a standardised approach to extracapsular dissection for benign parotid tumours yields favourable results, supporting a progressive change of strategy towards reduced invasiveness.
