Differential Diagnosis of Cervical Lymph Nodes with Ultrasound and Virtual Touch Imaging Quantification: a Report of Three Cases.
Article in Maedica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common clinical presentation, and its differential diagnosis is challenging. In this article we present three cases with enlarged cervical lymph nodes evaluated with combination of ultrasound (US) and virtual touch imaging quantification (VTIQ) performed by the head and neck surgeon G.P. with a 10-year experience in ultrasound elastography (USE). In the first two cases, US and VTIQ evaluation showed predominance of areas with increased stiffness and higher share wave velocities compared with those in the third case. Malignancy was suspected in the first and second cases. The histology report revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in the first two cases and chronic non-specific lymphadenopathy in the third case. The development of VTIQ share wave elastography has improved the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography and can guide clinical decision when dealing with cervical lymphadenopathy.
