1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate of salivary gland dysfunction with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), especially the relationship between maximum standardized uptake value (SUV

methodsFive patients (2 submandibular sialolithiasis, 2 Sjögren's syndrome, and 1 parotitis) who underwent SPECT/CT were included in this study. The salivary gland excretion function was defined as A (pre-stimulatory 20 min after injection of Tc-99m pertechnetate)/B (post-stimulatory 40 min after injection of Tc-99m pertechnetate) using SUV

resultsSUV

conclusionThe results of the present study indicate that SUV
