Sialolipoma of the Parotid Gland: A Systematic Review.
Review 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
Sialolipoma of the parotid gland is an uncommon benign neoplasm of the salivary glands, characterized histologically by the presence of mature adipose tissue intermixed with non-neoplastic salivary gland components, and sometimes featuring oncocytic or reactive alterations. The clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of this condition, coupled with its similarity to various other parotid lesions in differential diagnosis, underline the necessity for accurate identification, with treatment typically involving parotidectomy, usually superficial, and aimed at preserving the facial nerve. A systematic electronic search was performed up to September 2025 across the PubMed and Scopus databases using pertinent Medical Subject Headings, without imposing any time limitations. A total of 86 studies were retrieved with the keywords "sialolipoma" AND "parotid". Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this systematic review includes 32 articles, which consist of 31 case reports and one retrospective descriptive study. The available evidence suggests an excellent prognosis, with recurrence being extremely rare, as only one recurrent case has been recorded. However, due to the small number of cases examined, the definitive recurrence rate is not well established, emphasizing the need for consistent follow-up to achieve more conclusive results.
