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
Multiple salivary gland tumours can occur in both major and minor salivary glands. Its histology can be greatly varied and include pleomorphic adenoma, canalicular adenoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, or polymorphous adenocarcinoma, amongst other pathologies. A 76-year-old lady was referred on a two-week-wait pathway to our oral and maxillofacial surgery department complaining of a one-year history of painless lumps in her upper lip, which were gradually increasing in size. Examination in the clinic revealed four distinct lumps in the upper lip that were firm on palpation but mobile. Histopathological examination revealed the two medial lesions to be polymorphous adenocarcinomas and the two lateral lesions to be canalicular adenomas. Whilst our case represents uncommon pathologies, our patient's demographics are typical of others in the literature. This highlights the importance of adequate biopsies to gain a representative sample, as well as awareness that multiple salivary gland pathologies can synchronously exist.
