Local anaesthesia with conscious sedation in parotid gland tumour resection: a retrospective review.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
objectivesThis study explored the suitability of local anaesthesia with conscious sedation for parotid gland tumour surgery.
methodsThree hundred sixty-four medical records were reviewed to gather data on several key aspects for retrospective analysis. These included age, incision length, operation time, tumour size, NNIS score, ASA score, and pathology. Additionally, we documented postoperative complications.
resultsA total of 111 patients underwent surgery under local anaesthesia with conscious sedation, while 253 patients underwent surgery under general anaesthesia. We found significant differences in surgical time, incision length, tumour location and tumour size between the two groups. There was no difference in postoperative complications or age.
conclusionsPerforming parotid gland tumour resection under local anaesthesia with conscious sedation is feasible. Compared with general anaesthesia, this approach does not increase the risk of complications or surgical trauma and can reduce the risk of anaesthesia-related complications. This is beneficial for expanding surgical treatment indications, allowing some patients who cannot tolerate general anaesthesia to also receive treatment.
