Certainties, Doubts, and Myths in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Salivary Gland Tumors of the Head and Neck.
Review in Cancers, 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
Salivary gland tumors, although relatively rare, exhibit a wide histological variety. The most modern classifications list over 30 histotypes, both benign and malignant, with widely varying morphological, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics, sometimes even within the same tumor type based on grading. The consequence of these characteristics is that regarding the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumors, there have been, and still are, some certainties, many uncertainties, and some myths not supported by irrefutable studies, but which are cited, repeated, and taken for granted from one article to the next. The purpose of this narrative review is to analyze the most important and controversial opinions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumors of the head and neck, and, in particular, those of the most frequent and/or problematic histological types, both malignant and benign. To this end, approximately one hundred historical and recent studies on these topics were analyzed.
