Rare complication of acute transient parotitis after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a case report.

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
Acute postoperative parotitis, also known as anesthesia mumps, involves transient inflammation and enlargement of the parotid gland after general anesthesia. No case reports of acute postoperative parotitis after arthroscopic shoulder surgery have been reported to date. Therefore, we share our experience with a recent case of acute postoperative parotitis as a rare complication of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in lateral decubitus position. Symptoms can be unilateral or bilateral, painless, and often resolve spontaneously within hours or days; in rare cases, such as upper airway obstruction, the condition can be fatal. Treatment options for parotitis vary from conservative to surgical depending on severity, and outcomes also vary. Therefore, orthopedic surgeons should be aware that this rare complication can occur after surgery, and patients should be warned before surgery.
