Recurrent Pneumoparotid Presenting as Parotitis in a 3-Year-Old Child.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. 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
Pneumoparotid is a rare cause of parotid swelling. It is characterized by the presence of air in the parotid ductal system. Pneumoparotid may be suggested clinically with crepitus on parotid gland palpation. Imaging using ultrasound and/or CT is crucial in diagnosing Pneumoparotid and for excluding complications. Early recognition of pneumoparotid is crucial to prevent recurrence and unnecessary interventions. Counseling to avoid activities that increase intra-oral pressure remains the cornerstone of management. We report a case of a 3-year-old male - one of the youngest described in the literature- who presented with a 3-day history of high-grade fever, right-sided neck swelling, and decreased oral intake. Examination revealed bilateral parotid swelling with crepitus. Ultrasound revealed bilateral parotid enlargement and multiple enlarged cervical lymph nodes with early cystic degeneration. Contrast-enhanced CT confirmed the presence of air within both parotid glands, which is consistent with pneumoparotid.
