A distinct radiologic perspective on parotid pleomorphic adenoma: sialo-CBCT case report.
Review in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundPleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most prevalent benign salivary gland tumor, manifesting predominantly in the parotid gland. The imaging techniques most frequently employed for diagnosis include ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sialography is an interventional imaging technique that utilizes a positive contrast medium to illustrate the ductal anatomy of the parotid and submandibular glands. While there are studies in the literature demonstrating the sialography combined with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of non-tumoral pathologies of salivary glands, there is a paucity of literature evaluating tumors with sialo-CBCT. The objective of this case report was to present the diagnostic and treatment processes of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland diagnosed by sialo-CBCT and to review the literature. To the best of our knowledge, no other case of PA has been reported in the literature that has been radiologically visualized and characterized with sialo-CBCT. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old female patient exhibited swelling in the left cheek and was initially diagnosed with parotid PA on USG examination. Subsequently, a sialo-CBCT was performed to visualize the lesion and parenchymal structure. Post-contrast CBCT images revealed a focal lesion area in the left parotid superficial lobe, partially surrounded by contrast-enhanced parenchymal tissue with regular borders. Subsequently, surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and the presence of PA was confirmed as the definitive diagnosis.
conclusionAlthough sialo-CBCT is not the primary diagnostic tool for diagnosing PA, it allows simultaneous assessment of salivary gland tumors, parenchymal architecture, and the ductal system without superimposition, offering precise and comprehensive three-dimensional visualization.
