1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveShear wave elastography can detect inflammation and fibrosis in the thyroid tissue. It can be used to evaluate Hashimoto's thyroiditis or in the assessment of thyroid diseases accompanying type 1 diabetes mellitus. Our aim was to examine whether there is a difference between the shear wave elastography scores as kilopascals of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus and healthy children, and the relationship between diabetes-related parameters and shear wave elastography scores. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 77 type 1 diabetes mellitus children and 53 healthy controls were compared. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, free tri-iodothyronine, antibodies against thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin, average of the last 2 control plasma glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, duration of diabetes and daily insulin dose in diabetic individuals, thyroiditis staging by ultrasound, and shear wave elastography scores were also recorded.

resultsIn terms of shear wave elastography scores, no significant difference was found between the healthy control group and the group with type 1 diabetes mellitus without Hashimoto's thyroiditis (7.9 ± 2.8 kPa vs. 8.4 ± 3.3 kPa, P = .772). The score of the group with type 1 diabetes mellitus accompanied by Hashimoto's thyroiditis (15.1 ± 6.6 kPa) was found to be higher than the group with type 1 diabetes mellitus without Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the healthy control group (P = .022 and P = .015, respectively).

conclusionsThis is the first study to compare children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls in terms of shear wave elastography scores. We found that there was no significant difference between the shear wave elastography scores of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus without Hashimoto's thyroiditis compared to healthy controls.
