Examination of parotid gland in diabetics with ultrasound elastography and microvascular imaging.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disorder that can result in the non-enflamatuar enlargement of the parotid gland. It is recognised as a condition that can impair microvascular perfusion. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe parotid glands of 38 individuals with diabetes and 38 healthy controls were examined bilaterally using ultrasound to assess parameters of volume, stiffness and microvascularity.
resultsA statistically significant increase in parotid gland volume and a statistically significant decrease in microvascularity were observed in diabetic patients. Furthermore, a statistically significant increase in parotid gland volume was noted in diabetic individuals who were using antidiabetic drugs in comparison to non-users. A significant negative correlation was identified between the duration of exposure to diabetes and microvascularity.
conclusionsUltrasonographic imaging can be used to assess the dimensions and microvascularity of the parotid gland.
