A nomogram incorporating clinical, conventional ultrasound and shear wave elastography findings for distinguishing pleomorphic adenoma from Warthin's tumor of the major salivary glands.

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
objectivePre-operative differentiation between pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and Warthin's tumor (WT) of the major salivary glands is crucial for treatment decisions. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram incorporating clinical, conventional ultrasound (CUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE) features to differentiate PA from WT.
methodsA total of 113 patients with histological diagnosis of PA or WT of the major salivary glands treated at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were enrolled in training cohort (
resultsThe nomogram incorporating the clinical, CUS and SWE features showed favorable predictive value for differentiating PA from WT, with the area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.947 and 0.903 for the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively. Decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram model outperformed the Clin+CUS model and SWE model in terms of clinical usefulness.
conclusionsThe nomogram had good performance in distinguishing major salivary PA from WT and held potential for optimizing the clinical decision-making process.
