Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for the differential diagnosis of pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin tumors in salivary glands.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivePleomorphic adenomas have risks of malignant transformation and post operate recurrence. Therefor it is important that diagnosing pleomorphic adenomas or Warthin tumors before an operation. We evaluated the usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with Sonazoid for making differential diagnoses between pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin tumors.
methodsCEUS was performed the day before surgery in 39 patients. We compared the time-intensity curve and capillary density rate of 14 pleomorphic adenomas and 13 Warthin tumors.
resultsPleomorphic adenomas demonstrated a significantly longer time to peak intensity and lower maximum curve gradient of wash-in than Warthin tumors. The capillary density rate of Warthin tumors tended to be greater than that of pleomorphic adenomas.
conclusionsCEUS and capillary density rate analysis using Sonazoid is helpful for the differential diagnosis of pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin tumors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b.
