Bilateral synchronous salivary gland tumors: report of three cases.
Article in Diagnostic pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundBilateral salivary gland tumors, both benign and malignant and synchronous or metachronous are very rare. CASE PRESENTATION: Here three cases of synchronous bilateral salivary gland tumors are described and discussed. Recognizing the entity is important for diagnostics and treatment planning. The first patient was a 56-year-old female with a bilateral parotid tumor, a malignant tumor, salivary duct carcinoma on the right side and a benign tumor, pleomorphic adenoma on the left side. The second patient was a 50-year old female with a bilateral benign parotid tumor, a pleomorphic adenoma. The third patient was a 51-year old female with a bilateral malignant tumor, an acinic cell carcinoma. Details on the diagnostic work-up, histopathology and treatment are described and discussed.
conclusionsIn the case of a unilateral salivary gland tumor, especially of the major glands, the contralateral gland is always included in the clinical and radiological (MRI) head and neck evaluation prior to surgery, to detect or exclude possible bilateral occurrence.
