1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sialography offers a unique advantage for mapping the salivary duct network and identifying structural inconsistencies. It clearly demonstrates the presence and extent of benign obstructions, dilatations, and ductal variations that may appear only as nonspecific sialadenitis on ultrasonography. Furthermore, the flow and composition of the contrast media provide a therapeutic benefit. This case series, supported by comprehensively annotated procedural images, highlights the merits of sialography as a corroborative diagnostic tool-especially when point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) fails to accurately detect microliths or subtle ductal discrepancies. This article provides an oral healthcare professional's perspective on diagnosing benign obstructive salivary gland disorders.
