Evaluation of parenchymal vascularity of the thyroid gland with vascularization index by color superb microvascular imaging in patients with Graves' disease.
Article in Journal of ultrasonography, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aim of the studyTo determine the parenchymal vascularity of the thyroid gland with color superb microvascular imaging in patients with Graves' disease, and compare the vascularization index values with healthy subjects. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe thyroid glands of 37 patients whose laboratory and clinical findings were consistent with Graves' disease, and 40 asymptomatic subjects with normal laboratory values, were examined using color superb microvascular imaging. Measurements of the vascularization index were performed with a free region of interest which was drawn along the outer margin of the gland on the color superb microvascular imaging mode. The vascularization index values obtained in the Graves' disease and control groups were compared. A correlation analysis was performed between the vascularization index values and laboratory and grayscale US parameters.
resultsThe median vascularization index value of the thyroid parenchyma in patients with Graves' disease was significantly higher than in the asymptomatic group [median (min-max); 12 (2.3-32.1) vs 5.04 (1.1-10.8),
conclusionsThe vascularization index obtained with color superb microvascular imaging can be a quantitative indicator of parenchymal vascularity in the diagnosis of Graves' disease, and serve as a supportive tool.
