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
A salivary gland fistula occurs when there is abnormal communication between the skin and the salivary gland or duct. Most of the cases are due to complications of head and neck surgery such as parotidectomy or trauma. At the moment, there are no consensus treatment guidelines for managing salivary gland fistulas. Most cases are treated conservatively; however, the management of ductal fistula can be challenging and typically requires more aggressive measures than conservative ones. We report a case of an elderly with a neck abscess complicated with a parotid fistula after incision and drainage. He presented with wound breakdown and persistent saliva leakage from the wound. The fistulogram showed communication between the Stensen's duct and the external fistula opening. We performed sclerotherapy by injecting Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate into the fistula tract and ultrasound-guided intraparenchymal Botulinum Toxin type A injection over the affected parotid gland. The management of salivary gland fistula is discussed, focusing on the role of Botulinum Toxin type A injection and Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate for the management of the fistula.
