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
ObjectiveTo compare perioperative outcomes, complications, and cosmetic results between endoscope-assisted superficial parotidectomy via a retroauricular hairline-cranial auricular groove incision and a modified Blair incision for large benign superficial-lobe parotid tumors.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted at a single tertiary center and included consecutive patients undergoing endoscope-assisted or modified Blair superficial parotidectomy (n = 96; 48 patients/group). The outcomes included operative metrics, conversion, complications (Frey syndrome and facial nerve palsy), and scar results assessed at approximately 3 months within the 3-6-month follow-up period using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale-Observer Scar Assessment Scale 5-50 and Patient Scar Assessment Scale 6-60, wherein lower scores indicate better results. Group comparisons were performed using appropriate parametric or nonparametric tests and χ
