An Unusual Case of an Extra-salivary Subcutaneous Multifocal Pleomorphic Salivary Adenoma.
Article 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
A 36-year-old woman was referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic at Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, with multiple subcutaneous swellings on the right side of the face, overlying the parotid region and extending below the mandibular border. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed several macrocystic subcutaneous lesions, and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration confirmed a diagnosis of pleomorphic salivary adenoma (PSA). The lesions were excised via a modified Blair incision and were found to be superficial to the parotid capsule. Histopathological evaluation showed myxoid-rich PSAs without any associated salivary gland tissue, confirming an extrasalivary origin. This case illustrates a rare presentation of multifocal, subcutaneous PSAs occurring independently of the parotid gland. The patient remains disease-free and continues under routine surveillance for potential recurrence.
