Sialadenectomy for management of a large submandibular sialolith using an extraoral approach: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Background: Submandibular sialolithiasis is a common condition that can cause significant discomfort and complications if left untreated. Treatment strategies depend largely on the size and location of the sialolith, with various surgical and nonsurgical techniques available. Case presentation: This report describes the successful management of a large sialolith in the submandibular gland via sialadenectomy using an extraoral approach. The case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for managing large sialoliths and demonstrates the efficacy of sialadenectomy in carefully selected patients. Conclusion: The extraoral approach using a Risdon incision provided excellent exposure of the submandibular gland and enabled safe removal of the large sialolith. Further research is warranted to refine treatment algorithms for sialolithiasis and optimize patient outcomes.
