A rare case of an epidermoid cyst of the parotid gland, from a radiologist perspective.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
Cystic lesions in the parotid gland are uncommon, constituting around 5% of salivary gland tumors, with epidermoid cysts being a rare subset. This report presents the case of a 14-year-old girl with a slowly growing left parotid mass for 2 years. Radiological assessments, including ultrasound and MRI, revealed a well-defined cystic mass. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst, supported by histopathological examination. Epidermoid cysts in the parotid gland are infrequent, often asymptomatic, and their radiological features may overlap with other cystic lesions. This article discusses the clinical presentation, radiological aspects, and differential diagnoses of parotid epidermoid cysts.
