Shear-Wave Elastography-Diagnostic Value in Children with Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) is the most common thyroid disorder in the pediatric population. Ultrasound evaluation may suggest the diagnosis. Additionally, shear-wave elastography (SWE) proved to be a valuable additional diagnosis tool in adults with CAT by assessing thyroid stiffness (TS). This study aims to assess its use also in detecting children with CAT. The study group consisted of 50 children with confirmed diagnosis of CAT, who were compared to the control group, consisting of 50 children with no thyroid pathology and with an adult group of 50 subjects with CAT. The evaluation included, besides bioimmunochemical evaluation, also thyroid ultrasound evaluation and elastography measurements in the same session (Aixplorer Mach 30, Supersonic imagine, France). The mean TS values were significantly lower for children in the CAT group compared to adults with CAT (15.51 ± 4.76 kPa vs. 20.96 ± 6.31 kPa;
