Application value of shear wave elastography in salivary gland tumors.
Article in Oral radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 aims of this study were to retrospectively analyse the values of shear wave elastography (SWE) in differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors (SGT).
methodsA total of 56 patients with salivary gland lump(s) were examined by SWE for measuring and comparing the differences in various Young's modules (malignant tumor (MT) and benign tumor (BT), parotid tumor (PA) and adenolymphomas (AL), etc.). All the cases were confirmed by surgery or fine needle aspiration pathology.
resultsThe 56 SGT cases included 10 cases MT, 27 cases of PA, 11 cases of AL, and 8 cases of other BT. There was no statistical significance in Young's modules between group BT and group MT (both P > 0.05); the differences between group PA and group AL were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the corresponding ROC curve analysis found that the diagnostic value of the maximum Young's modulus was the highest with the best cut-off values and AUC as 32.4 KPa and 0.805. The sensitivity, specificity, and Yoden index of the diagnosis of PA and AL were 70.4%, 81.8%, and 0.522, respectively.
conclusionsSWE can differentially diagnose PA and AL while not MT and BT in SGT.
