A Rare Masquerade: Primary Parotid Lymphoma Mimicking a Parotid Neoplasm in a Young Female Patient.
Article in Cureus, 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
Primary parotid lymphoma can closely mimic epithelial salivary gland tumors, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. We report the case of a 21-year-old female patient who presented with a left parotid swelling. Imaging was suggestive of a parotid neoplasm, and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) demonstrated atypia of undetermined significance (Milan category III). The patient underwent a left total conservative parotidectomy. Histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry (IHC) established the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-germinal center subtype, with involvement of the medial resection margin. She subsequently underwent staging evaluation and received systemic chemotherapy, with a favorable clinical response, and is currently disease-free on follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with primary parotid lymphoma and underscores the importance of continued reporting of such cases to support the development of improved preoperative diagnostic strategies and management protocols.
