Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach for Parotid Sialolith Removal.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sialolithiasis is one of the most common diseases that affects the salivary glands and develops stones inside the salivary glands. We describe the case of a 36-year-old man who had been experiencing pain and swelling in the left cheek area for a month, along with discharge in the left posterior buccal vestibular region. A 3.5 mm calculus in the major parotid duct was discovered during the ultrasound scan. Under general anesthesia, the patient had a superficial parotidectomy, and the calculus was successfully removed. This case study illustrates the value of early detection and treatment of parotid sialolithiasis and shows how well superficial parotidectomy works to treat the problem.
