The identification and ligation of the parotid duct during parotidectomy.
Article in Turkish journal of surgery, 2025. 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
Objective: The complication rates after parotidectomy were reported to be 13-29% and many techniques were implemented to decrease these post-parotidectomy complications. Material and Methods: Between August 2016 and June 2022, one hundred and twenty-five patients with parotid tumors had parotidectomy and ligation of the main parotid duct in the Department of Surgical Oncology, Oncology Center, Mansoura University with the observation of its effect on the postoperative outcomes. Results: Superficial parotidectomy was performed in 87 (69.6%) patients, total parotidectomy in 31 (24.8%) patients, and quadrantectomy in 7 (5.6%) patients. The operative time was 130.76±51.5 min, and the blood loss was 81.32±45.02 mL. A suction drain was placed in 106 patients and a non-suction drain was used in 19 patients. Postoperative complications included facial nerve morbidity in 12% of the patients, bleeding in 1 patient, seroma in 5 patients, edema in 1 patient, wound gap in 1 patient, wound infection in 1 patient, and keloid in 1 patient. Conclusion: The identification and ligation of the main parotid duct during parotidectomy has favorable impacts on the incidence of post-parotidectomy complications such as salivary fistula, seroma, sialocele, and wound infections.
