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

objectivesThis study investigates the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of full-endoscopic parotidectomy compared to the conventional approach.

methodsBetween July 2021 and December 2023, patients who underwent parotidectomy were prospectively enrolled and assigned to either the full-endoscopic parotidectomy group (Group I) or the conventional surgery group (Group II). Clinical outcomes were evaluated, and patient-reported outcomes were assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale and five FACE-Q scales.

resultsA total of 293 patients were prospectively included, with 146 in the full-endoscopic group and 147 in the conventional group. Blood loss was significantly lower in the full-endoscopic group (regression coefficient, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.15 to 1.07), as was the rate of immediate facial paralysis (0.76; 95% CI, 0.25 to 1.27). The full-endoscopic group also showed superior outcomes on the Visual Analogue Scale (- 0.14; 95% CI, - 0.23 to - 0.05) and FACE-Q scales for Appearance-Related Psychosocial Distress (1.15; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.71), Social Function (- 0.37; 95% CI, - 0.59 to - 0.15), Satisfaction with Facial Appearance (- 0.44; 95% CI, - 0.64 to - 0.23), Psychological Function (- 0.39; 95% CI, - 0.58 to - 0.20), and Satisfaction With Outcome (- 0.42; 95% CI, - 0.66 to - 0.19).

conclusionsFull-endoscopic parotidectomy yields less blood loss and a reduced incidence of immediate facial paralysis compared to conventional surgery. Patients undergoing full-endoscopic parotidectomy reported better aesthetic and psychological outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The combined analysis of clinical and patient-reported outcomes is valuable in guiding surgical planning. These findings provide valuable insights for patients considering full-endoscopic parotidectomy and underscore the importance of addressing functional, aesthetic, and psychological aspects for both patients and healthcare providers.
