Long-term follow-up and prognostic analysis of parotid tumors in children and adolescents.

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
Objectives: The objective of this study is to summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of parotid tumors in children and adolescents. Methods: Fifty-three children and adolescents diagnosed with parotid gland tumors were included. Survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the association between clinical factors and recurrence. Results: Of the 53 patients, 30 cases were benign and 23 cases were malignant. All patients underwent surgery. Patients with malignant tumors with high-risk factors received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The median follow-up time was 61 months. Of these, 1 patient with benign tumor and 5 patients with malignant tumors recurred. Of the patients with malignant tumors, 2 developed distant metastases and 2 died. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rates for benign tumors were 100.0% and 92.9%, respectively, whereas the 5-year OS and 5-year LRFS rates for malignant tumors were 94.4% and 72.5%, respectively. The log-rank univariate test showed that tumor size >3.5 cm ( Conclusion: Surgery for benign tumors depends on the location and size. Surgery for malignant parotid tumors depends mainly on the stage, grade, pathological type, and recurrence. Prophylactic lymph node dissection is required for high-grade tumors. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy for children needs more research. Both benign and malignant tumors have high survival rates after active treatment. Level of evidence: Level 2.
