Sonographic Features of Salivary Glands in Sjögren's Syndrome and its Mimics.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewFor 30 years, ultrasound has been investigated as a means to evaluate salivary gland abnormalities in patients with autoimmune disease. We aim to review the test characteristics of ultrasound for diagnosing Sjögren's syndrome, the scoring systems used for this purpose, and the ultrasound similarities and differences between Sjögren's syndrome and some of its potential salivary gland mimics. RECENT
findingsHypo/anechoic glandular lesions are the major ultrasound characteristic found in Sjögren's syndrome. Most studies have reported such ultrasound abnormalities to have a sensitivity and specificity in the range of 65-85% and 85-95%, respectively, as well as a positive likelihood ratio between 4 and 12. However, similar findings can also be seen in sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, IgG4-related disease, HIV, and lymphoma. A "nodal" pattern of involvement or the ultrasound artifact of "through transmission" can help distinguish some of these mimics from Sjogren's syndrome. Ultrasound can substantially influence the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome.
