Case Series of Changes in Greyscale and Power Doppler Signals on Salivary Gland Ultrasonography after Treatment in Patients with Sjögren's Syndrome.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The usefulness of greyscale (GS) in salivary gland ultrasonography for Sjögren's syndrome (SS) has been established; however, limited information is currently available on power Doppler signals (PDs), and changes after treatment remain unknown. PDs are considered to represent glandular inflammation, which indicates the worsening of GS in later years. We examined the changes in PDs in three immunosuppressant-treated SS patients. PDs decreased, along with GS and markers of disease activity, after treatment. PDs have the potential to provide insights into glandular inflammation in real time; however, large-scale studies on their clinical usefulness are needed.
