Unicentric Castleman disease in intraparotid lymph node: a case report.
Article in Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 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
backgroundCastleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by non-neoplastic lymph node hyperplasia. Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD), the most common clinical form, typically presents as a solitary, asymptomatic mass. Involvement of intraparotid lymph nodes is rare and often mimics salivary gland neoplasms, complicating preoperative diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old female presented with a painless, enlarging mass in the left parotid region. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a well-demarcated, homogeneously enhancing mass with additional smaller lesions in adjacent lymph node regions. A conservative excisional approach was performed with preservation of the facial nerve. Histopathological evaluation confirmed the hyaline-vascular variant of UCD. Postoperative follow-up showed spontaneous regression of adjacent lymphadenopathy and resolution of transient facial nerve palsy.
conclusionCD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of encapsulated parotid masses with associated lymphadenopathy. Recognizing its clinical and radiologic features may facilitate accurate diagnosis and prevent overtreatment. Complete surgical excision is curative in most UCD cases.
