Surgical Outcomes of U-Shaped Incisions Versus Conventional Incisions in Parotidectomy.

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
ImportanceModified Blair and Facelift incisions are conventional approaches to parotid pathologies. However, they frequently result in prominent scars in cosmetically sensitive regions. A newer alternative, U-shaped incision offers a minimally visible scar along the contour of the pinna while enabling management of parotid pathologies.ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the cosmetic and surgical outcomes between U-shaped incision and conventional incisions including Modified Blair and Facelift incisions.Design/Setting/Participants/Intervention or ExposuresThis is a multicenter case-control study on 16 patients who underwent parotidectomy using U-shaped incisions for parotid tumors between 2019 and 2022. Seventeen disease characteristics-matched controls underwent conventional approach were included, amounting to a total of 33 patients.Main Outcome MeasuresThe surgical outcomes including perioperative events, postoperative complications, and cosmetic outcomes using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score of scar satisfaction and the Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS) were analyzed.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the age (
