Shear wave elastography in the diagnostics of parathyroid adenomas-new application of the method.
Trial report in Endocrine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeShear wave elastography (SWE) was described as valuable tool in the diagnostics of distinct types of thyroid lesions, thyroiditis and several other non-thyroidal conditions, such as liver inflammation and fibrosis or diagnostics of breast lesions. The aim of the current study was to assess the appearance of parathyroid adenomas in SWE and to check prospectively if SWE can be valuable additional tool in the diagnostics of pathologically enlarged parathyroids.
methodsPatients with parathyroid adenomas confirmed by histopathology were included. Subjects with benign thyroid lesions were enrolled to the control group. Elasticity of parathyroid adenomas and benign thyroid nodules was measured and compared.
resultsSixty five patients with parathyroid adenomas and 35 patients with 51 benign thyroid nodules were included. Parathyroid adenomas where significantly more elastic than benign thyroid nodules-mean elasticity of the lesion was 5.2 ± 7.2 vs. 24.3 ± 33.8 kPa, respectively. Relative mean elasticity (in comparison with surrounding thyroid tissue) was 0.30 ± 0.36 and 2.8 ± 3.9, respectively.
conclusionsSWE can be useful tool in the diagnostics of parathyroid adenomas. Enlarged parathyroids are significantly more elastic than benign thyroid lesions. Low elasticity of the lesion constitutes feature with high negative prognostic value, allowing for reliable exclusion of suspicion of parathyroid adenomas.
