Strain and shear wave ultrasound elastography in evaluation of chronic inflammatory disorders of major salivary glands.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess chronic inflammatory conditions of major salivary glands by ultrasound elastography.
methods21 patients with chronic inflammatory conditions of major salivary glands and 21 healthy adult volunteers were included in this study. All participants underwent B-mode sonography and ultrasound elastography. The diagnostic performance of strain ratio and shear wave velocity was evaluated by sensitivity and specificity at the optimum cutoff point and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
resultsCases showed statistically significant higher median strain ratio of parotid and submandibular gland than control group (
conclusionOur initial experience suggests that elastography may be potentially useful for diagnosis of chronic inflammatory conditions of the major salivary glands. This conclusion needs to be further validated large sample studies.
