Effect of laterality, gender, age and body mass index on the fat fraction of salivary glands in healthy volunteers: assessed using iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation method.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectives: To evaluate the effect of laterality, gender, age and body mass index (BMI) on fat fraction (FF) measurements of both parotid glands (PGs) and submandibular glands (SMGs) by using: Iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation method (IDEAL-IQ).
methods: A total of 87 healthy participants were enrolled in our study. IDEAL-IQ image was scanned using a 3.0 T scanner. Paired t test was performed to compare the difference on FF of both PGs and SMGs between left and right side. The FF of two glands between male and female healthy participants were compared using an unpaired t-test. The correlation between the FF of two glands and participant age or BMI were analyzed by Pearson's correlation.
results: Excellent inter- and intrareader agreements were obtained during the measurements of FF by IDEAL-IQ method (ICC, 0.952-0.981). FF values correlated positively with the age and BMI in both left and right PGs and SMGs (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found on FF between left and right PGs and SMGs (p > 0.05). There was also no difference on FF between male and female healthy participants (p > 0.05).
conclusions: FFs of PGs and SMGs were age- and BMI- dependent, but not laterality- and gender-dependent. The effect of age and BMI need to be considered in further studies using Ideal-IQ technology to evaluate FFs of salivary gland diseases.
