Computer-Aided excision of Parapharyngeal Space Pleomorphic Adenoma by Transcervical Approach. Case report.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The parapharyngeal space, situated in the neck's lateral part, poses challenges for surgical intervention due to its complex anatomy. Tumors in this space are rare, accounting for 0.5-1% of head and neck tumors, often remaining asymptomatic until reaching substantial sizes. Material and Methods: This article outlines the surgical management of such lesions using navigation software, illustrated through a clinical case. A 38-year-old male presented with a mass at the right mandibular angle. Preoperative planning with Brainlab iPlan CMF® software aided in understanding the tumor's relationship with adjacent structures. A transcervical approach facilitated tumor excision without damaging vital anatomical structures. Histopathology confirmed pleomorphic adenoma. Results: The paper underscores the rarity of parapharyngeal tumors, the importance of individualized surgical strategies, and the utility of 3D technology in preoperative planning for enhanced anatomical understanding. Conclusions: The cervical approach remains a satisfactory choice for benign lesions in this challenging space.
